Stitching tiled 3D light-sheet data in napari

Stitching a mouse brain acquired at a resolution of 4.06 µm/px, 4.06 µm/px, 5 µm/px using 4 tiles


A napari plugin for stitching tiled 3D acquisitions from a mesoSPIM light-sheet microscope. The plugin utilises BigStitcher to align the tiles and napari to visualise the stitched data.

Installation

We strongly recommend to use a virtual environment manager (like conda). The installation instructions below will not specify the Qt backend for napari, and you will therefore need to install that separately. Please see the napari installation instructions for further advice on this.

To install latest development version:

pip install git+https://github.com/brainglobe/brainglobe-stitch.git

This plugin requires Fiji to be installed on your system. You can download Fiji here.

The BigStitcher plugin must be installed in Fiji. Please follow the instructions here.
