An isosurface is a mathematical surface representation that conforms to a
set of predefined rules. Isosurfaces are not currently available in the
official version of POV-Ray. Isosurfaces are currently only available in
unofficial versions of the program but will most likely be included in
the next official release POV-Ray.

You can visit the original home page of the isosurface for specifics on
the subject -

And if you want to try using them in your work now there are currently
four platforms that you can find an updated patch that has Isosurfaces
available -
