The development of computerized simulations and techniques for real-time imaging at microscopic scales provides a partial solution to the problem of visu- alizing such n-dimensional entities, by providing, in effect, 4D projections of them. With these techniques, the scientist or any other viewer of the imagery is removed from the production of the representation, however, which negatively affects the quality of insight and inference.

One purpose of going from viewing to insight development would be discovery of transition points in the process of change, see e.g.
