 We have done this for a series of confocal microscope images using OpenDX
 (www.opendx.org).
 Although OpenDX does not handle multi-tiffs, it is possible to split the file
 into
 separate tiffs and read
 them in, If there are fewer than say 20, you can just duplicate import modules
 in
 the program editor.
 A better way would be to put in a loop and accumulate the tiffs automatically
 into
 a series.  Once you've
 got the data in, you can do just about anything: stack the series and do
 isosurfaces etc. We may write a
 multi-tiff reader before the Summer is out just for convenience.
