Clipping spline and blood flow

Caption

The clipping spline provides unprecedented capabilities to see inside 3D images. The clipping spline (mesh) is defined by the control points (green) and provides a smooth cutaway view into the looping embryonic mouse heart, revealing the blood flow (orange and blue) in the heart’s atrium and ventricle.
