I think this subject has been discussed in this list some time ago. I
remember that people recommanded instead of merging BioRad images inside
CoMOS, you may convert your .PIC files to other formats first and do a
image merging by using other image-processing softwares. If you're using
MS-Windows, you may use CAS (Confocal assistant) to do so. Some follow-ups
have already metioned how to get CAS. I don't have idea how to do this on
UNIX or Mac. Good luck.
