manual stitching problem

Dear List

I am currently having the following problem.  I ran a timelapse using the Leica SP8 software, it was a 3x3 tilescan z-stack with 100 timeframes.  There was a lot of cell movement in the timelapse, and the automatic stitching in the Leica software did not do a very good job of stitching the images together.  All I need is to stitch together the maximum projection of the z-stack by manually aligning them.  I have tried cropping the projection into it's respective 9 parts, both in Imaris and in LAS, since it is impossible to get the single tile files from the original lif file in the Leica software.  Then I have tried stitching these in XUV stitch, but the software sees the timepoints in both *.lif and *.ims files that I cropped as z-planes instead of timepoints, so I am having difficulty stitching it together.  XUV stitch seemed appropriate since I can manually align the stacks, something I can't do in Metamorph, for example.

If anybody has came across a similar problem and knows the solution or has any suggestions, they will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks to all of you in advance,

Yevgeniy Romin

Before you close the LAS software you safe the Lif file and you also want  to safe the tiff images. Then you can create a stack of every single tile and later stitch all 9 tiles stacks or the projections of the stacks together. I case the LAS stitching is not good enough I usually use ImageJ.

I thought about doing that, but thought that I may be able to avoid recreating each tile myself.  Do you know if ImageJ will stitch together straight-up *.lif files?  Which plugins do you recommend?

Thanks in advance,

This may be too simple a solution, but if you are able to generate the Max
projections of each tile, you might be able to stitch them together with
Autostitch, a free program that works only on jpeg files, but has done some
remarkable work with some of our images.

The easiest way to install the most useful plugins for life sciences is to
go with the Fiji distribution of ImageJ: http://fiji.sc/. (Although I am
the maintainer of this software, I have no commercial benefit from it, so
this is not a commercial response). Fiji includes an updater (which is
actually the ImageJ2 updater) to keep you up-to-date without major
hassles.

Fiji includes Bio-Formats to open .lif files. There is even a way to
follow the most recent Bio-Formats in case you need a recent bug fix that
did not make it into a stable Bio-Formats release yet:
http://fiji.sc/Bio-Formats#Daily_builds

As to stitching, Fiji includes this plugin: http://fiji.sc/Stitching. I
would be surprised if you could not make it do what you require...

Ciao,
Johannes

Please note that all .jpeg files are good for are pretty pictures. You
cannot perform scientifically sound image analysis on them.

Thanks very much for all your inputs.  Fiji seems to be the way to go, even though it's still not perfect, but definitely better then LAS was.  I may still have to do some manual compiling from the *.tif files, but that's life I guess :)

Thanks very much again,

Yevgeniy

Hi Johannes.

Of course, and I made the point that the stitching worked only with jpegs.
Nevertheless, if one is trying to generate a low magnification image
without quantitation, this sort of program can be useful,  If you are not
familiar with it, it also does a fair amount of warping to make things
fit.  Again, useful for a general impression, but not even for quantitative
measurement.
