Abstract

Systems and methods are used to display cell structures of a biological cell. A plurality of cell structures of a biological cell is stored and for each cell structure of the plurality of cell structures one or more stain colors are stored. A selected cell structure is received from an input device. One or more stain colors of the selected cell structure are retrieved. The one or more stain colors of the selected cell structure are displayed. A selected stain color is received from the input device. The selected cell structure is displayed in the selected stain color in an exemplary cell image. Further, a three-dimensional image of a biological cell is stored. The three-dimensional image is displayed on a display that includes a touch screen. A movement selection is received from the touch screen. The three-dimensional image is displayed on the display according to the movement selection.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A system for displaying one or more artificially rendered cell structures of a biological cell, comprising:
a memory configured to store a plurality of virtual cell structures of a biological cell and one or more virtual stain colors for each cell structure;
an input device;
a display; and
a processor in communication with the memory, the input device, and the display, the processor configured to:
receive a first and a second selected cell structure f…
