Good day,

you tell us that you are not new to ImageJ, therefore you should be able
to represent your images as a 4D stack (attached is an example file),
i.e. each set of 5 images is a z-stack (3D) and the fourth dimension
means the series of these z-stacks.

If you are able to arrange your images in this fashion (4D), you can use
the ImageJ-macro "Easy_Focus.ijm" that is based on the ImageJ-plugin
"Focus_LP" which does what you want.
<https://www.gluender.de/Miscellanea/MiscTexts/UtilitiesText.html#Gl-2019-3>
Please carefully read the ReadMe-document!

"Easy_Focus.ijm" allows for fast, high quality and one-click focus
analyses of focus series. Compared to similar approaches available for
ImageJ, "Easy Focus" is clearly faster. It provides superior results,
when compared to standard approaches such as those investigated by
Mir et al. (2014)

Good luck

Herbie
