Summary This paper presents a global solution from acquisition to visualization for the three‐dimensional reconstruction of cell sections. Original techniques are proposed for the correct handling of the geometrical section distortions, and a new interpretation based on the logarithmic image processing (LIP) model is applied in order to create normalized grey‐level sections where these are missing. Finally, a new method for generating a mesh of triangles to describe the envelope of the reconstructed cell is proposed, as well as a visualization mixing image synthesis and grey‐level information. The product allows the user to explore the reconstructed cellular block in any desired direction, by showing user‐defined grey‐level sections inside the block mixed to a synthetic view of the cell envelope.
