3d Surface Rendering

3D surface rendering is a visualization method that represents the outer shape of an object or biological structure as a three-dimensional surface, making spatial relationships easier to interpret than in flat images. It typically converts imaging or measurement data into a mesh of connected geometric elements, then applies lighting, shading, color, and depth cues to convey form and detail. In biology, this approach helps researchers examine cell morphology, tissue organization, anatomical structures, and reconstructed specimens from microscopy or other imaging techniques. By supporting rotation, scaling, and interactive inspection, 3D surface rendering improves structural analysis, communication of results, and quantitative investigation of biological form.

Interview: Bioreactors and Surfaced-Modified 3D-Scaffolds for Stem Cell Research

In the past many in vitro culture systems -- mainly monolayer cultures -- often suffered from the disadvantage that differentiated primary cells had a relatively short life-span and de-differentiated during culture. As a consequence, most of their organ-specific functions were lost rapidly. Thus, in order to reproduce better conditions for these cells in vitro, modifications and adaptations have been made to conventional monolayer cultures.

This work presents microfabrication protocols for achieving cavities and pillars with reentrant and doubly reentrant profiles on SiO2/Si wafers using photolithography and dry etching. Resulting microtextured surfaces demonstrate remarkable liquid repellence, characterized by robust long-term entrapment of air under wetting liquids, despite the intrinsic wettability of silica.
