Abstract :
Data sets imaged with modern electron microscopes can range from tens of terabytes to about one petabyte. Two new tools, Ssecrett and NeuroTrace, support interactive exploration and analysis of large-scale optical-and electron-microscopy images to help scientists reconstruct complex neural circuits of the mammalian nervous system.
