Deep Focus

Use Deep Focus to visualize an entire image stack in a single plane (Maximum / Minimum intensity projection for another method).

The program collapses the focus information from the 3D image onto a single image plane; it creates a new image and places it at the Z-depth of the top of the stack.

To switch between the projection view and the stack, use the Image Organizer .
Use File>Save>Virtual Image Stack>Deep Focus to save the Deep Focus image.

How it works

Deep focus is a method that identifies the pixels with the highest sharpness value, while minimum/maximum projection identifies the maximum (or the minimum) intensity value of each pixel along the z axis is projected onto the 2D plane.
