macro:import_metamorph_screen_acquisition_tile_data

Stitch data from MetaMorph 7 "Screen Acquisition" module

Reassembles tiling data acquired by MetaMorph into stacks and hyperstacks.

MetaMorph 7's Screen Acquisition (screenacq) does not natively support time and Z acquisitions from it's UI or journal functions. Therefore it's easier to assemble the 5D experiment (x,y,z,t,c) with FIJI including stitch TIF files together with overlap.

Output

Hyperstack output from running the "Stitch Raw Data" macro tool

Requirements

FIJI, since this macro makes use of:

Installation

Download “Review Screen Data.txt” to the >Macros>Toolsets folder. It will show up in the “»” toolsets dropdown under the name of the text file, “Review Screen Data”.

Known Bugs

  1. Window flicker for each well site while constructing hyperstack.
    • ImageJ has a bug where it throws a NullPointerException when using BatchMode to run(“Stack to Hyperstack…”, …) followed by close().
    • As a workaround these functions need to be run outside of BatchMode, which causes the ficker of the window appearing and closing.
    • Wayne Rasband is aware of this bug.
  2. Crash during macro stitching leaves *.HTD metadata files renamed as *.HTD.bak.
    • Re-run the macro to fix.
    • This renaming for is necessary to prevent the Bioformats reader from confusing MetaMorph *.HTD files to be Applied Precision files.
