It's the old Casio watch of imaging software. We love it.

The ImageJ status bar was a little bit sad, as it didn't have its own game. Fixed by this 1D javascript space invaders !

GitHub - saalfeldlab/lens-correct: Correcting lens-distortion in confocal stacks Correcting lens-distortion in confocal stacks. Contribute to saalfeldlab/lens-correct development by creating an account on GitHub.

If your imaging system has poorly characterized constant distortions leading to chromatic aberration, shoddy stitching, or false measurements (the answer is likely yes), you may want to give this tool a try. Native installers for Linux, Mac, Win under Releases github.com/saalfeldlab/...

New preprint alert!

We developed an automated framework to optimize tracking pipelines for bacteria, along with a nice integration of tools for bacteria imaging, in the recently released TrackMate 8 (Fiji plugin).

Tune in on 23. jan to hear about our work on smart microscopy:

📯👨‍🚀 Calling all #bioimage analysis aficionados. #EZInput is out! We wanted to bring #ImageJ’s capacity to record settings to the #Python ecosystem 🐍. It is a declarative library for generating UIs that just work. Done with @guijacquemet.bsky.social lab

The new version of TrackMate, the v8.1 has just been released. It builds upon the recent v8, linked below, and offers two main improvements 👇

Very nice! Did you spray or dab the stencil ?

Halfway to I2K is BACK, friends of all kinds! Last year, 650 people attended 30+ TOTALLY FREE image analysis workshops of all kinds, across many timezones.

If you make image analysis software and want to teach it, workshop submissions are open now! We'd love to have your tool highlighted.

Great visibility for #microscopy images from @france-bioimaging.bsky.social platform Montpellier Ressources Imagerie at European Researcher's Night!

Thrilled to share that our article in @jofmicroscopy.bsky.social is now accessible online and as open access! If you wonder how to start the analysis of your images, we propose a decision tree to help identify suitable methods. Just follow the link(s)...
