Here is the rationale behind the folders in this repository: -- The movie files generated from the _ex vivo_ system produce .czi files, which are then converted to 8-bit TIFF format using a macro (see convertCZIto8bTiff.ijm). Muscle stem cells are tracked using the TrackMate plugin in ImageJ software. The movement of the muscle fibre is then corrected (CellonFiber repository), allowing the tracking of cells to be adjusted relative to a fixed reference frame. +- The movie files generated from the _ex vivo_ system produce .czi files, which are then converted to 8-bit TIFF format using a macro (see [convertCZIto8bTiff.ijm](https://github.com/gletort/ImageJFiles/tree/master/convertFiles)).

To measure the cell displacement on the fiber, we registered the movie to have immobile fibers. +To align these movies, we could not registered directly the movie as the petri dish would have influence the registration. +Instead, we detected the fibers and used their motion to calculate the registration to perform. + +All these steps are possible with our Fiji plugin [cellsOnFiber](https://gitlab.pasteur.fr/gletort/cellsonfiber/-/blob/main/README.md) proposed open-source. +Please refers to the [plugin cellsOnFiber repository](https://gitlab.pasteur.fr/gletort/cellsonfiber) for more informations, detailled usage steps and demo. + +## Registration of 3D movies + +To register _In vivo_ movies in 3D, which, due to experimental challenges, can move a lot and be deformed, we developed a customed Napari plugin based on elastix library. + +Please refers to our [napari-3dtimereg plugin](https://gitlab.pasteur.fr/gletort/napari-3dtimereg) for more informations, detailled usage steps and demo. \ No newline at end of file
