Lanczos Microscopy Resizer (ImgLib2 + ImageJ/Fiji)

A plugin designed to scale 2D and 3D image stacks plane-by-plane using high-fidelity Lanczos interpolation via the ImgLib2 framework.

Unlike standard resizing tools that break image metadata, this plugin automatically recalculates spatial calibration and embeds a digital audit trail directly into the file's properties.
