Description: A problem when recording 3D fluorescent microscopy images is how 
    to properly present these results in 2D. Maximum intensity projections are
    a popular method to determine the focal plane of each pixel in the image. 
    The problem with  this approach, however, is that out-of-focus elements 
    will still be visible, making edges and fine structures difficult to 
    detect. This package aims to resolve this problem by using the contrast 
    around a given pixel to determine the focal plane, allowing for a much 
    cleaner structure detection than would be otherwise possible. For 
    convenience, this package also contains functions to perform various other
    types of projections, including a maximum intensity projection.
