To whom it may concern,

I am willing to use Chimera for aligning several images from the structure illumination microscope (SIM).

Here is the surface maps generated by Chimera from two images.

After alignment by the tool “Fit in Map”, they are aligned very well.

My next step is to average the intensity from two aligned images and generate a new map which will be used to fit other images.

Can anyone tell me how to do it in Chimera?

By the way, please also tell me what the values mean in the reply log.

It helps me to use another software to complete the mission, if I can get the rotation, voxel shift, or even scaling values from the alignment.

Thank you!

All Best,
