The text file method uses relative coordinates of fiducial marks as recorded with some device such as a microscope digitizer. Let us call these coordinates 'stage' coordinates. It also uses screen coordinates of fiducials in NIH Image. Before registration may take place, stage coordinates must be mapped to the NIH Image screen coordinate system. To do this, NIH Image reads the following, tab-delimited information from a text file. In every case, x-coordinates are followed by y-coordinates.
Obviously, the stage coordinate system may not change in rotation, translation, or scale in the middle of a set of images being captured, so it is advisable to record stage coordinates at the time of image capture (without changing camera settings or the position of the object whose image is being captured). |
