我们描述了 Volume slicer 的功能和设计 - 一个基于 Web 的 EMDB 条目切片查看器。该工具独特地提供了沿三个正交轴查看 3D EM 重建切片的功能，并在它们之间快速切换并在体积中导航。我们与 EM 社区成员进行了多轮用户体验测试，以确保界面易于使用且直观，并且提供的信息具有相关性。 EM 社区呼吁提供基于 Web 的 2D 切片数据交互式可视化，这推动了体积切片器的开发。这对于快速初步检查重建质量非常有用。再次响应社区的号召，我们计划将 Volume 切片器进一步开发为成熟的 Volume 浏览器，提供从分子到细胞尺度的 EMDB 和 PDB 条目的集成可视化。 (C) 2016 年作者。由 Elsevier Inc. 出版。这是一篇基于 CC BY 许可的开放获取文章。
We describe the functionality and design of the Volume slicer - a web-based slice viewer for EMDB entries. This tool uniquely provides the facility to view slices from 3D EM reconstructions along the three orthogonal axes and to rapidly switch between them and navigate through the volume. We have employed multiple rounds of user-experience testing with members of the EM community to ensure that the interface is easy and intuitive to use and the information provided is relevant. The impetus to develop the Volume slicer has been calls from the EM community to provide web-based interactive visualisation of 2D slice data. This would be useful for quick initial checks of the quality of a reconstruction. Again in response to calls from the community, we plan to further develop the Volume slicer into a fully-fledged Volume browser that provides integrated visualisation of EMDB and PDB entries from the molecular to the cellular scale.
