14:00 CET - 17:00 CET

Prerequisites

  • You have experience in taking microscopy images of biological samples.
  • You have a research project that may require automated quantification of microscopy images.

Content

This is an image analysis course for beginners and will cover the following topics:

  • Image properties (data type, voxel size, display settings, …)
  • Image segmentation (binarisation by thresholding)
  • Image filtering and denoising
  • Object detection (connected component analysis and label images)
  • Object shape measurements
  • Object intensity measurements

The practicals will be conducted using the graphical user interface of Fiji (https://fiji.sc/). However, we will focus on the concepts of image analysis rather than the specific implementation in Fiji. Thus, this course is also recommended if you are a beginner and want to perform image analysis in some other platform (e.g., using python scripting).

Location

The course will be held online.

Notes

This is a joint course between EMBL and The Max Planck Society (for each organisation will have space for 15 praticipants).

If you can’t make it or don’t get a slot, please be aware that the course will be repeated later in the year!
