Hello,
I have a Z-stack acquired on a Zeiss LSM 510 META confocal of a sample in 2 channels (single time point). I would like to be able to extract the x-z and y-z slices so that I can analyse the fluorescence intensity across them.
I have Imaris and ImageJ at my disposal. In Imaris I can get a view of these slices quite nicely and adjust the 'depth' and position of them using the Ortho Slicer and Oblique Slicer options. However I don't know how, if it is possible, to extract just these slices as images, which I can later analyse. Can anyone help. Or, does anyone know how to do it in ImageJ, or indeed another programme?
Alternatively is there a way to directly analyse a x-z or y-z frame across a 3D reconstruction, for fluorescence intensity, in any programme?
Thanks in advance for your help,
Graham
