The four folders contained in this DVD and their respective contents are listed below: (1) AMF60CS40 -3d movie AMF60CS40 -AMFCS sequence of combined contour maps (2) AMF60RC40 -3d movie AMFRC -3d movie2 AMFRC -AMFRC sequence of combined contour maps (3) AMF60SUC40 -3d movie AMF60SUC40 -AMFSUC sequence of combined contour maps (4) CLSM -AMFRC 60 micron depth Z Series -AMFRC 60 micron depth Z Series2 -AMFRC 60 micron depth Z Series3 AMF60CS40 and AMF60SUC40 each contain two avi files; AMF60RC40 contains three. One of these avi files is a sequence of 2D contour maps to show each individual layer within the 3D contour maps. An example of how these files are labelled is as follows: 'AMFSUC sequence of combined contour maps'. An example of how the other avi files are labelled is as follows: '3D movie AMF60SUC40'. This file contains a movie of a 3D contour map being rotated, etc. This is what is being referred to in the thesis when discussing the '3D contour map'. These files were made using Image-Pro plus. Each of these files were made in Palmerston North at the Fonterra Research Centre so I had very limited time to spend with the software. Unfortunately, that is the reason for the presence of a few quirks in their appearance. The bright pink background in the sequence of 2D contour maps is not there because I like the the colour, but because overlaying two black backgrounds (to create the combined maps) in Image-Pro Plus apparently gives bright pink. The 3D movies also have a problem where they would not do what I told them to, so instead they just seem to rotate in almost random directions. I found the AMFRC movie particularly frustrating which is why the second movie is also included. I suggest playing them in a media player which allows slow motion and/or just pausing them at particularly interesting angles. The CLSM folder contains three avi files. The only difference between them is the region in the sample from which they were obtained. Each of them portray the morphology of the AMF60RC40 sample along the z-axis. These clips are similar to the 'sequence of combined contour maps' created from the Raman microscope data except the CLSM z-series' are constructed from many more layers (100 - 200 layers).
