SciPy (pronounced "sigh pie") is a free and open-source Python library used for scientific computing and technical computing.
SciPy contains modules for optimization, linear algebra, integration, interpolation, special functions, FFT, signal ...
tools to allow advanced data processing and analysis. Current version is 1.10.0.
In 2022 the tomviz platform was used to enable 3D visualization of specimens during an electron or cryo-electron tomography experiment.
Tomviz is built with multi-threaded data analysis pipeline runs dynamic visualizations that update as new data is collected or reconstruction algorithms proceed. Scientists can interactively analyze 3D specimen structure concurrent with a tomographic reconstruction after or during an experiment.
