If the input images have varying dimensions, the resulting image document can have gaps for certain dimension coordinates.

This function joins two images to form a new time series image.

It offers an advanced option for mapping the channels of the two images. This is useful for special situations that might require manual channel mapping, for example if the same dye was used for different channels, or if the dye name is missing in the image metadata.

Parameter

Description

Sort Time Points by Acquisition Time

Activated: Sorts the time points of the resulting image by acquisition time.
Deactivated: Does not sort by acquisition time. Note that in case the first input image was acquired after the second file, or if both images overlap in acquisition time, the relative times of some time points in the output image could be negative.

Define Channel Mapping

Activated: Allows you to map the channels of the first input image to the channels of the second image. If you do not want to map one particular channel, you also have the option No Mapping. The resulting image will have all channels of the first image and all channels from second image that do not have a mapping.
