Maximum Intensity Projection is a common tool to represent 3D biological imaging data in a 2D space, but it creates artefacts. Here the authors develop Smooth Manifold Extraction, an ImageJ/Fiji plugin, to preserve local spatial relationships when extracting the content of a 3D volume to a 2D space.
