DESCRIPTION:Although biological imaging techniques have seen vast improvem
 ents\nover the past century\, there is still no method capable of\nreconst
 ructing the whole neuronal circuitry in a tissue sample\;\ninformation tha
 t is direly needed for a better understanding of how\nthe brain works. Ser
 ial Block-Face Scanning Electron Microscopy\n(SBFSEM)\, developed by W. De
 nk and H. Horstmann in 2004\, promises to\nfinally provide an answer to th
 is central question of\nneuroscience. Yet interpreting the data proves to 
 be a challenge for\nsignal reconstruction techniques.\n\n\n
