ImageJ workshop: Dresden Nov, 2019
Date
Nov 4th and 5th, 2019
Introduction
The Biopolis Dresden Imaging Platform (BioDIP) offers a workshop in image analysis based on the open-source software ImageJ, partially supported by a new program of German Bioimaging “Rent-a-Trainer”.
This 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.
Participants should bring their own laptops. Instructions on how to install ImageJ is explained below.
