The HRME was translated over fluorescently-labeled lens paper to build a mosaic. (A) When video frames are inserted into the mosaic using the pixel maxima approach, frame boundaries are smooth, but disturbed fibers appear blurred as shown by the arrows (Media 2 ^{(1.1MB, AVI)} ). (B) When the dead leaves approach is used, blurring does not occur, but frame boundaries can become noticeable (Media 3 ^{(1.2MB, AVI)} ). The dead leaves approach is preferred for tissue imaging because probe movement can deform the tissue.
