What is it about?
Researchers have developed a new ImageJ/Fiji software tool that improves images' clarity by combining multiple pictures taken at different focus points. This tool is especially useful for studying detailed images of tiny subjects, like certain types of algae and bacteria, where it's hard to get everything in focus at once. The plugin also works well with images taken at different light levels, ensuring that both dark and bright areas are clear and detailed. By using advanced techniques to reduce noise and enhance fine details, this tool helps scientists get a better view of complex image data, making it easier to analyze and understand.

Why is it important?
The current approach has demonstrated remarkable results when compared qualitatively and quantitatively with two commercial fusion tools and the existing EDF ImageJ plugin. This validates the reliability of the plugin and supports its continued application in various other scenarios.
