Woven image orientation. (a) Outline of the image orienting routine (see routine 2). The images of the woven area were oriented regarding the adjacent slides by the routine that rotates the woven area of the bitmap 360°, then it chooses the angle where the differences between the adjacent images are the smallest, and hence, the images are the most similar. is the intensity of the pixel number of the first image and is the intensity of the pixel of the previous image. The image chosen is the one with the smallest value of . (b) Example of the image-orienting procedure: In the panels we can see two of the images obtained from the brain serial sections that are rotated with respect to the adjacent image. (c) The same procedure has been used for the heart section images.
