Hi and welcome aboard.

The answer to your question is probably an isosurface, a feature now 
available in a patched version of pov called MegaPOV, you can get 
MegaPOV from http://nathan.kopp.com/ .  But no doubt there'll be 
someone along soon who can give you a better description of MegaPOV
and the isosurface.   Have a look at Nathan's web pages.

Good luck.
