In this study, we investigated methods of reconstructing higher-resolution three-dimensional (3D) pattems of real electrical tree pauems. We studied two kinds of reconstruction methods, and both methods were applied to the same specimen. One method is a mechanical preparation of serial cross sections and the other is a computerized tomography method using projections.Furthermore. to examine the fractal properlies of reconstructed 3D tree pattems, the fractal dimension of their patterns was estimated by means of a box counting method.The results showed that both methods can reconstruct 3D elecmcal tree pattem accurately and the obtained pattems have fractal properties.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
