Maximum Intensity Projection (MIP) renders your dataset directly in the 3D viewport. It is similar to meshes, giving you a spatial view of your data, but it applies to any image layer rather than only segmentations, and it needs no precomputation. Technically, MIP looks through the volume and keeps the brightest value along each line of sight, so fluorescent labels and other bright structures stand out in three dimensions.
MIP is part of our ongoing work to improve WEBKNOSSOS for light microscopy datasets, and it is available now.
