VFB Image Thumbnails
VFB (Virtual Fly Brain) thumbnails are color depth maximum projection images that allow users to visualize the distribution of intensity values across different depths in a 3D image stack.
Thumbnails are found in query results and on Term Info pages.
VFB Thumbnail features
- Each pixel in a VFB thumbnail corresponds to a specific depth in the image stack.
- The color bar on the right side of the image shows the range of colours corresponding to the full depth of the template, with blue being shallow and red being deep from the perspective of the viewer.
- Brighter or more intense colors indicate higher intensity values at that depth.
![]()

![]()
- This image uses much less of the available (Z) stack space, shown by the more restricted range of colour.
