Two volume renderings (drawings that highlight features on microscopy data) are labeled in yellow (the outer walls of the gland) and red (the fluid-filled space inside the gland). The top drawing, labeled "cancer," shows a lot more yellow and smaller, more intricate glands. The bottom drawing, labeled "benign" shows larger glands with a lot more fluid-filled space inside the glands.
