Fig. 1 (shortened, full legend in paper): Pipeline to generate 3D digital organs demonstrated using a stage 3-V Cardamine hirsuta ovule. (A) The generation of a 3D digital organ starts with 3D imaging of the organ of interest stained with a cell wall stain such as SR2200. The 3D rendering of a confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) z-stack of ovule with SR2200-stained cell walls is shown. The bounding box shows the xyz imaging directions of the ovule in the 3D view (top panel).
