This software is for registering and fusing the datasets from two views. It was originally developed for OpenSPIM-like setups but works well for diSPIM data as well.

See homepage at http://fiji.sc/Multiview-Reconstruction.

As of April 2015 the MVR plugin allows for direct importing of Micro-Manager datasets. Previously the Micro-Manager plugin's export function was used (it is still required for MIPAV GenerateFusion).

This script was used during the 2018 EMBO Practical Course for Light sheet microscopy in Dresden to roughly align two views collected on the ct-dSPIM:

#@File (label="Freshly loaded BDV XML File Location") xml_file
 
/** 
 *  Simple script to deskew, flip and move a DiSPIM dataset
 *  
 *  Olivier BURRI, Jon Daniels
 *  EMBO Lightsheet Course 2018
 *  
 *  INPUT: XML file which contains two angles named 0 and 90
 *  
 *  This will apply the transformations to the XML file and reopen the multiview applications
 *  
 *  Last modification: August 8 2018
