Hello!

I'm looking for a way to select an area in ImageJ and then to automatically get the area within the selected area with a predefined size with the highest mean.

So for example: I have an object and I draw a circle around it, then I want ImageJ to give me a smaller circle within my drawn circle that has the highest mean in this area.

Since I have to analyse a Z-stack it would be great if I could include 1 Z in each direction into my measurements.

Thanks for your answers!
