3D Alignment and Registration

Proper alignment of 3D electron microscopy image stacks is crucial for effective manual and automatic analysis. Overlapping regions are stitched together into a coherent dataset.

We offer a full service for the alignment of 3D electron microscopy datasets. Just upload the dataset and receive the results. No coding required.

Normalization and Gradient Correction

Due to the sensitive nature of image acquisition, some artifacts are inevitable. Sections may show uneven brightness and contrast. There may be gradients across tiles or throughout the dataset.
Fortunately, these artifacts can be corrected using our technology. As part of our alignment and stitching services or separately, we offer services for normalization and gradient correction in large-scale datasets. 

    Histogram-based correction of tiles or sections
    Gradient correction within a tile or across the stack

Stitching of 3D Tiles

Imaging large volumes with Micro-CT or Synchrotron X-Ray Tomography requires sub-dividing the volume into 3D tiles.
We offer services for stitching reconstructed tomography tiles into a coherent dataset.
