The two-day ImageJ macro workshop teaches the ImageJ macro programming for biological / biomedical image analysis. The goal of the workshop is that participants acquire basic programming techniques for analyzing image data.
Participation is most fruitful for learners who are conducting biological or medical research and are already using (light) microscopy for quantification purposes, and also has some experiences in using ImageJ.
