My favorite volume renderer for fluorescence #microscopy is VVD Viewer, by Takashi Kawase and Hideo Otsuna at #HHMIJanelia. Takashi wrote fast GPU code. Hideo wrote a transfer function with 3D sampling and a final 2D power function, which together show just enough low data values for visual context.
