Image Fusion Options

Use the Image Fusion window to combine timepoints, Z sections, or wavelengths from two DeltaVision images into one output file.

Open Image Fusion by choosing Edit | Image Fusion from the main softWoRx menu.

Field

Value...

Image 1

The first input image - a file or window.

Image 2

The second input image - a file or window.

Output

The destination of the image fusion operation - a file or window.

Image Selections

Allows you to give Image Fusion explicit directions for which wavelengths, timepoints, and z sections it should process.

Wavelengths

Allows you to specify which wavelengths will be processed by Image Fusion.

Timepoints

Allows you to specify which timepoints will be processed by Image Fusion.

Z Sections

Allows you to specify which Z sections will be processed by Image Fusion.

Num

Displays the total number of either timepoints or Z sections of the image.

Start

Allows you to select which timepoint or Z section Image Fusion starts with while processing each wavelength of this input image.

End

Allows you to select the final timepoint or Z section that Image Fusion processes for each wavelength of this input image.

Inc

Allows you to define an increment that Image Fusion uses to determine the next timepoint or wavelength to process for each wavelength of this input image.

Fusion Options

 

Allow you to append timepoints or z sections of the similar wavelengths creating a single final wavelength data set. Only one option can be selected at a time.

Append Wavelengths

Appends all selected wavelengths to the output data set. For example, if Image 1 has wave 490 selected and Image 2 has wave 490 selected, the output data set will have two separate 490 wavelengths.

Combine timepoints for like wavelengths

Combines timepoints from all selected matching wavelengths into a single final wavelength data set.

Combine z-sections for like wavelengths

Combines z sections from all selected matching wavelengths into a single final wavelength data set.

 

 

Notes

#1 If error messages are displayed that refer to differences in file types that include image size, pixel size, lens info, data type, etc., use Copy Region and Edit Header to manipulate these items.

#2 If the number of sections varies from wavelength to wavelength during an operation,  Blank Z sections have been added to the image is displayed. These blank sections are added to balance the number of sections between each wavelength of the output image.  Each one is a zero intensity image added to the end of the appropriate wavelength.
