3D characterization of materials at the nano- and mesoscale has become possible with transmission and scanning transmission electron microscopes (S/TEM). While this has advanced scientists’ abilities to study the underlying structure of materials and their properties, these 3D datasets require advanced software tools for analysis and visualization. Kitware’s open source application, Tomviz, is a version of ParaView tailored to visualize electron tomography data. It can use the large quantities of memory and processing resources required to render, manipulate, and analyze massive 3D tomograms.
