The tool copies the images in a stack into a new image and places them in a spiral order, i.e. the first image is in the middle, the second right of the first, the third above the second, the fourth left of the third, and so on. The spiral can be clockwise or anticlockwise. It can start to the east (right) or to the west (left) side of the first image.

You can find the source code of the tool here.

Copy the file Create_Spiral_Image.bsh into the plugins folder of your FIJI installation and restart FIJI. Note: when you run it for the first time it might want to download the beanshell-interpreter. In this case answer yes in the dialog and restart FIJI after the downloaded finished.

Run the tool from the Plugins-menu:

• clockwise - if selected the spiral is created in a clockwise order, otherwise in anticlockwise order.
• start to the east - if selected the second image will be on the right of the first one, otherwise on the left.
• step - after the insertion of each image the execution stops and waits for the user to press a button

You can batch create mosaics for all images coming from the Cellomics in a folder with the additional scripts:

• Batch_Process_Cellomics_Mosaics.bsh
• Batch_Process_Cellomics_Timeseries_Mosaics.bsh
