Image analysis is often treated as an individual skill—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: www.linkedin.com/feed/update/...

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
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...

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: “Before thou clicketh ‘Acquire’, consult thy analyst.” Doing image analysis? Check image quality, labels, resolution, metadata with your imaging analyst first — your future self will thank you! Read more: bit.ly/46mYBL7 #Microscopy #BioImaging

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! buff.ly/KJ147tI #Microscopy #ZProjection #ImageAnalysis
Colocalization isn't just "overlap"—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. Read newsletter now! bit.ly/46mYBL7 #Microscopy #BioImageAnalysis #Colocalization
Happy "#FluorescentFriday", actually luminescence 🌌 🌈 Just feel like sharing some incredible moments recently captured near Tromsø, Norway Experiencing auroras in nature makes me feel tiny and special at the same time. It puts daily life into perspective & sparks huge gratefulness 💚 #Auroras
🧠 Even in the age of AI, classical image filters still matter! They reduce noise, preserve edges, and boost segmentation + ML performance. Filter smart — shape what your algorithm sees. 🔗 Read more: “To filter, or not to filter?” #ImageAnalysis #AI #Microscopy #Segmentation bit.ly/46mYBL7

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.
🔬 Blinded by colors? Color ≠ Intensity! Quantifying intensities from RGB images (e.g. fluorescence, blots, ...) is mostly misleading! Check your image data type carefully! Learn more in Newsletter No. 5 - To analyze RGB images, or NOT to analyze RGB images? Read and subscribe: bit.ly/46mYBL7

Everyone who does quantitative microscopy should read this! It’s amazing how many ways we can bias our imaging experiments without realizing we’re doing it.
In 2019, Anna Jost & @jencwaters.bsky.social reviewed best practices for validating quantitative #microscopy methods & discuss strategies to avoid unconscious bias in imaging experiments rupress.org/jcb/article/... 📕 In #Reproducibility & Best Practices in Cell Biology: rupress.org/jcb/collecti...
