Reconstructed sagittal sections show the binding sites for a 1 human brain and 2 a macaque brain. The macaque brain also includes sections indicating cell body and myelin density. Because each acquired section can only be visualized for a single biological feature, e.g., a given binding site, there are necessarily gaps between any two sections for a given acquisition and thus creates missing pixel intensities for that acquisition. The problem of missing pixel intensities is further aggravated by the occasional tissue section that has been lost due to mechanical processing errors. Missing pixel intensities are estimated using surface-based linear interpolation.
