Course of Processing and Analysis of Advanced Optical Microscopy Images with ImageJ- 10th & 11th Edition


Objectives Date Location General Information


 Objectives of the course

Processing and image analysis allow to extract the maximum information from the optical microscopy techniques applied. The Image J (Wayne Rasband, NIH, USA), free and open source software, has become an essential tool for processing and analysis of scientific digital images. The objective of this course is to provide, to the participants, the skills and strategies needed to process and analyze optical microscopy images using the open source software Image J.
The course consists of lectures and computer practice. The course will present the standard operating procedures with real applications of advanced optical microscopy. The combination of different image processing techniques will be used to identify, isolate and analyze specific elements of interest in each image. The course is addressed to researchers and professionals who require image processing and analysis in their work, and who are familiar with optical microscopy techniques or will have to work with them in the future.
