Voxx is a voxel-based (not surface-based) 3D rendering program which has been optimized for biological microscopy. This software permits researchers to perform interactive, near real-time rendering of large microscopy data sets using inexpensive personal computers. It was developed to explore 3D datasets collected on confocal and multiphoton microscopy systems, but it can also render other kinds of data (e.g. CT, MRI, etc.).

Voxx was develped by Jeff Clendenon (jclende@iupui.edu) and Jason Byars (jbyars@iupui.edu) in the Indiana Center for Biological Microscopy. Voxx is owned by Indiana University, and users are granted a non-exclusive license to use it only for non-commercial applications. Users interested in commercial applications should contact us.
