Hi Stephan,
thank you for that suggestion. I have never done anything with TrakEM2, so there I am a complete newbie. I tried to drag&drop my image (tif) into every part of the windows, but it would not work (mouse icon tells me it is not a valid target). Also jpegs do not work. The TrakEM manual also told me to drag and drop and did not help me any further (http://www.ini.uzh.ch/~acardona/trakem2_manual.html#fs_start_project). Is there anything else I need to watch out for? I use Fiji with all of today's updates..

best, Heinrich

Hi Heinrich,

I once wrote one for zooming into a TrakEM2 section series:

https://github.com/axtimwalde/fiji-scripts/blob/master/TrakEM2/trakem2_zoom_movie.bsh

You could drag your image into a new TrakEM2 project, in Fiji

File > New > TrakEM2 (blank)

than drag your big image into the canvas.  Then open the script in Fiji's scripting interpreter (it is written in Beanshell), modify line
44 to

layer = layer.getParent().getLayer( 0 );

to not move through the stack since you do not have one.  Then, you can modify the parameters such as tx and ty (lines 5 and 6, the rotation center and zoom-in target), l (the number of frames in line 9), s (in line 57, the scale increase) and the rotation (in line 61) to your needs.  The acceleration function is a cosine as specified in line 51.

Now select a rectangle Roi in the canvas and press the run button.

Sorry for the clumsiness of the code but it's been hacked in a rush and serves its purpose.

Examples of an earlier version without scale bars here:

Using TrakEM2 releases you from the responsibility to take care yourself for perfect image quality at all zoom levels.

Best,
Stephan
