Image analysis is often treated as an individual skillβ€”leading to irreproducible pipelines and bias. Sustainable #BioImageAnalysis must be an institutional responsibility: training, automation, standards, and GSP-aligned guidance. Read the full article on LinkedIn:

No. 09 - To scale, or not to scale? From pixels, selections, and image sizes - lost in scaling forest When we talk about scaling while working with images for example in ImageJ/Fiji, the word scaling is used for very different processes...

To Scale, or not to Scale? - When size matters!

"Scaling" in image analysis software like #ImageJ & #Fiji may be used ambiguous for different meanings:
- specifying pixel sizes
- resizing an image
- resizing a selection

All of those have different use cases and impact. Read more

We just released a new major version of TrackMate (v8), the cell and organelle tracking plugin of Fiji.

It ships many new features, detailed below, but that are articulated around the following:

To ask, or not to ask?
🎭 already Shakespear knew: β€œBefore thou clicketh β€˜Acquire’, consult thy analyst.”

Doing image analysis?

Check image quality, labels, resolution, metadata with your imaging analyst first β€” your future self will thank you!

And for those that don't know what a handpan is or sounds like...

Here a true master among many of the instrument.

Enjoy listening and support the handpan musicians to protect the freedom of playing and sharing its sound with the world 🌎 🎢 πŸ•Š

If you ever heard handpan music, you might have been enchanted by its mesmerizing sound.
This is in danger and the handpan might become an "illegal" instrument (if sth. like that ever existed).

Please watch the info video and if you feel like and can, help to protect it!

Ever wondered if analyzing your images by using intensity Z-projections impacts your data?

Happy to announce my guest article in Microscopy & Analysis on that topic. It's a very short read but worth for everyone dealing with image analysis!

Colocalization isn't just "overlap"β€”it's potentially 4 distinct analyses or more.

Check out how to dissect colocalization analysis and get a glance on pitfalls and methods to report robust colocalization results.

Happy "#FluorescentFriday",

actually luminescence 🌌 🌈

Just feel like sharing some incredible moments recently captured near TromsΓΈ, Norway

Experiencing auroras in nature makes me feel tiny and special at the same time.

It puts daily life into perspective & sparks huge gratefulness πŸ’š

Playing around with how to represent volume in #Snouty light sheet data. Here is a dividing hiPSC with endogenously tagged histone in all three orthogonal projections. Bluer is further away. If anything, it distracts from politics.

πŸ”¬ Blinded by colors?

Color β‰  Intensity!

Quantifying intensities from RGB images (e.g. fluorescence, blots, ...) is mostly misleading!

Check your image data type carefully!

In the 2nd edition of Bio-Imaging with Shakespeare we meet a pesky gremlin β€” uneven illumination (aka shading, intensity non-uniformity). πŸŽ­πŸ”¬ πŸ’»

It can quietly bias your segmentation and image analysis results!

So, detect it early, correct it appropriately!
