Details:
Imaging in the life and materials sciences has become completely digital and this transformation of visual imagery into mathematical constructs has made it commonplace for researchers to utilize computers for their day-to-day image analysis tasks. Along with this change comes the need to fully understand how image data is handled within a computer and how image processing methods can be applied to extract useful measurements and deeper understanding of image-based data.

Attendees at this live, interactive and highly instructional webinar will learn the basics of image processing as it applies to the life and materials sciences and will leave with confident answers to questions such as:

  • What is a digital image?
  • What is bit depth and when does it matter?
  • How do settings such as brightness, contrast, and gamma affect my images?
  • What is background correction and how does it work?
  • How do image processing filters work, such as sharpening, low-pass, median, and others?
  • What are various ways of measuring image data, including distance, area, volume, roundness, roughness, intensity?
  • How can we identify and count objects in images?
  • How can fluorescence images be best visualized and measured?

Who should attend? Every researcher who either performs digital imaging or needs to better grasp the processes that have been applied to images that are part of your lab’s research will benefit from attending this short web presentation.

This seminar uses WebEx and requires that attendees use a Java-enabled browser with a high bandwidth connection. Audio is via telephone. Long distance toll charges may apply. There is no charge to participate in this on-line seminar.

Filter holders for an Olympus confocal 300?

Dear listserver,

I'm wondering if there's anyone out there who might have two fluorescence emission filter sliders that fit into the scan head of an Olympus confocal 300 microscope that they would be willing to lend or sell. If so, please contact me off list. 

Thanks!
