Visualization

Visualization plays a key role in imaging research. Several issues can arise in the determination of whether a feature is truly present or if it is a characteristic of the beam. Visualization software can help manipulate the data such that unex- pected consequences of reconstruction like ring artifacts can be easily removed. The AvizoTM_{software has useful features for materials science imaging with skele-}

tonization, image segmentation, and registration 6. Another Java-based software

program is ImageJ, developed at the National Institutes of Health (NIH)7_{. ImageJ}

enables users to import large files (on the order of 10 GB) of many different formats (tiff, jpeg, raw, HDF5) while extracting useful statistics from the images or vol- umes. These visualization programs are used to view Li-ion/Li-polymer batteries, additively manufactured samples, and crystals in the following chapters.
