1. A computer implemented method for constructing a three dimensional view of digital slide imagery data from a portion of an image object including scanned image data from a plurality of image planes, where one or more processors are programmed to perform the steps comprising: identifying a first point in an image object having a first height, a first width, and a first focus value; identifying a second point in the image object having a second height, a second width, and a second focus value; identifying a third point in the image object having a third height, a third width, and a third focus value; constructing a first plane in the image object from said first, second, and third points; and providing a cross layer three dimensional view from said first plane, wherein the cross layer three dimensional view comprises contiguous image information from at least two scanned image planes with interpolated image information presented between at least two of said scanned image planes.
