Abstract
This is an imaging system configured and optimized for capturing two dimensional images of a desired section of body tissue and converting these images into three dimensional virtual environment images. These three dimensional virtual environment images are then viewed at multiple immersive omnidirectional viewing angles. The viewing angles are then choreographed into a desired sequence to create a fly through sequence through the cellular layers of a desired section of body tissue.
