Datasets with 3 or more spatial dimensions

Most scikit-image functions are compatible with 3D datasets, i.e., images with 3 spatial dimensions (to be distinguished from 2D multichannel images, which are also arrays with three axes). skimage.data.cells3d() returns a 3D fluorescence microscopy image of cells. The returned dataset is a 3D multichannel image with dimensions provided in (z, c, y, x) order. Channel 0 contains cell membranes, while channel 1 contains nuclei.

The example below shows how to explore this dataset. This 3D image can be used to test the various functions of scikit-image.
