  voxel
       
           (By analogy with "{pixel}") Volume element.
       
          The smallest distinguishable box-shaped part of a
          three-dimensional space.  A particular voxel will be


          identified by the x, y and z coordinates of one of its eight
          corners, or perhaps its centre.  The term is used in three
          dimensional modelling.
