# Volumetric Data

Let's start with our trusty ImageJ toolbar and an empty sciview scene.

Now open the script editor by first clicking on the ImageJ toolbar then pressing "\[". Download and open this script in the script editor to generate a 3D image volume that we can use.

Now press "Run" or Ctrl + R

You can close the script editor, then "Add volume" in sciview.

Then you will get a dialog where you can change the resolution of your volume's voxels (for example, if you are using confocal microscopy data, your z-resolution will be much larger)

Your volume should open up in the sciview window

Now let's do something fun. Start an animation to circle around your volume

After some time, stop recording the video

## What about timeseries?

No problem! Try the "Volume Timeseries" demo

![](/files/-MN8l_2f_OYDMtL-D1nV)

You'll get a volume that looks like this
