Dear ImageJ friends,

We are considering changing our software platform for acquiring  
Yokogawa spinning disc images from Perkin-Elmer Ultraview to Volocity.  
One thing the P-E software is really good at, which also turns out to  
be tough in Volocity, is displaying image stacks from a 4d dataset on  
the fly as projections on the fly. Ultraview allows one to project a  
range of focal planes centered at the currently selected focal plane.  
This doesn't appear to require loading the entire dataset into RAM,  
which is a big plus. We would like to upgrade, since the Ultraview  
software requires Windows 2000. We'd like to move to a more modern  
operating system.

Does anyone know of a way to do this easily in ImageJ? If you know of  
a commercial software platform, I'd appreciate an email off-list.

Thanks in advance,

Jeff
