Hi Rafael,

The 4x4 tiles are required to calculate the distortion, so the answer
is yes, you will need to do this, but then you have a calibration for
this particular setup of your microscope that can be re-used for all
subsequent acquisitions, tiles or not.

Documentation is sparse to the level that it does not exist, so let's
start here.  Following an e-mail that I sent out to the Fly Light
project scientists who are testing this:

After you followed the instructions from the video, check this place
again

https://github.com/saalfeldlab/confocal-lens/tree/master/scripts

and open the script export-transforms.bsh in Fiji's script editor and
modify

https://github.com/saalfeldlab/confocal-lens/blob/master/scripts/export
-transforms.bsh#L13-L21

according to your setup.  Hit Run.  It should print the estimated
transformations into the log window and you can save this as a JSON
file (text file).

Now drop the file apply-lens.bsh into the plugin directory of your Fiji
installation.  After a restart of Fiji, you should find a menu-entry
for this script in the plugins menu.  Click it.

If your Fiji is not too old, then it should open a dialog that asks you
for two input image paths (expected is

1. LSM file with two channels (488 and 594nm)
2. LSM file with three channels (488, 561, and 647nm)

), the respective JSON file for the scope that was used, and an output
directory to save the resulting multi-channel file.  The output will
have all five or however many channels in a single file.

If your acquisition procedure is different, change the script.

The script currently assumes that the lens-models in the JSON file and
the channels from input images are in the same order (in this case 488,
594, 488, 561, 647nm).  You can do subsets or other combinations but
you would have to edit the JSON file accordingly.  The JSON files are
simple to read, check

https://github.com/saalfeldlab/confocal-lens/blob/master/scripts/scope1.json

and they contain name tags for each model.  That should make editing
them easier.  The script ignores the name tags and goes by the order
only.

Attached is an example showing the top left 200px corner of all five
channels of one stack of the scope 1 calibration sample before and
after correction.

The script should be macro-recordable.
