Dear Sergej,
Chimera offers reach environment for manipulation and alignment of EM maps. To transfer the results
to human-friendly format and to manipulate them further in SPARX you can use simple python
scripts described here:
http://sparx-em.org/sparxwiki/align_chimera
They read Chimera orientation matrices and, if needed, apply transformations directly to EM maps.
Regards,

We have reconstructed several particles that may have a common origin and we are trying to trace common features in these particles. We have software that presumably may help us but it requires pre-aligned densities.

Moreover, I have not found any routine in Chimera to apply these parameters to reorient tomographic maps.
