Image processing for microscopy with focus stacking and image stitching

Using imaging software, multiple images can be combined in a way that shows more detail. Two popular methods are image stitching and focus stacking. Image stitching is the processes of adding images together to form a larger image. This type of image is more commonly known as a mosaic or panorama. Focus stacking uses a set of images of the same scene and stacks them on top of each other. This process is used to keep the in-focus regions of each individual image to create a more overall in-focus image. This blog covers the methods for how these types of image processing are achieved and what is required to begin this process.  Keep reading...
