Hi! We are trying to run an experiment that requires image acquisition of a
very large area (a slice of rat brain; we use mosaic for this purpose),
along with optical sectioning.

However, the software that we are currently using does not allow us to
acquire both mosaic and optical sectioning simultaneously due to the
extremely large file size produced (about 2GB), which cannot be processed by
the software (software limitation of file size is 200MB).

I am wondering if it is possible for us to acquire the mosaic and optical
sectioning separately (i.e. mosaic for every plane of interest), export out
and compile them with another software. Does any of you have any suggestion
of possible software that has the capability of compiling individual planes
into a stack?

Please advise. Thank you!

Cheers,
