To the Editor:
SPIM multiview registration is complicated by degradation of the signal along the illumination as well as detection axes (Fig. 1b), limited overlap between the views, different orientations of the optical sections and development of the specimen during acquisition. We developed a SPIM registration method and implemented it in a plugin for Fiji. The software enables efficient, sample-independent registration of multiview SPIM acquisitions using fluorescent beads in rigid mounting medium as fiduciary markers.
