Abstract
Reconstruction of biological objects should, ideally, demonstrate the significance of structures in terms of their dynamic roles in a functional system, such as a cell membrane or a brain. This is the main concern of neuroanatomical illustration, and it is equivalent to graphical modelling in molecular biology. Indeed, three-dimensional manipulation by a computer need not distinguish a molecule from a neuron.
