I've written a macro that'll help those with a similar problem of aligning
images, but only if your using a Bio-Rad system (sorry Charles). My macro
assists the microscopist to manually realign consecutive serial sections at
the time of image collection. It is also useful, for physiological type
experiments where your specimen may  move during the experiment, and
you wish to realign it to its original position.
 
The macro allows the user to draw an overlay around an obvious structure,
and later recall this overlay to aid in manual realignment. While not as
elegant as some of the previous solutions posted, the method is simple and
works pretty well.
 
If you would like this macro:
