Hi all,

It is common in confocal microscopy that, despite of careful selection of
embedding media, objectives etc., signal intensity drops with increasing
focus depth (e.g in thick tissue samples).

Is there any built-in function or a plugin available for intensity
correction of z stacks (linear, nonlinear)?

linear: scaling of intensities using a linear gradient
nonlinear: scaling, e.g. with a gamma function

Would such a function include conversion from integer to float and back to
integer intensity values?
