Abstract
Alignment of a 2D image to a corresponding 3D image is provided by writing a pattern into a 3D sample. The pattern is at known positions in the 3D image, and provides visible reference features in the 2D image. This permits accurate determination of the plane in the 3D image that corresponds to the 2D image.
