The Cytomine cooperative host several virtual slides having an interest for pedagogical purposes or technical interest.

The main goal of the Coherent X-ray Imaging Data Bank is to create an open repository for CXI experimental data.

The Cell Image library is a large repository of images from all organisms, cell types, and processes, normal and pathological. Original format and ome-tiff format can be downloaded. 

Correlia is an open-source ImageJ/FIJI plug-in for the registration of 2D multi-modal microscopy data-sets. The software is developed at ProVIS - Centre for Correlative Microscopy and is specifically designed for the needs of chemical microscopy involving various micrographs as well as chemical maps at different resolutions and field-of-views.

The empanada-napari plugin is built to democratize deep learning image segmentation for researchers in electron microscopy (EM). It ships with MitoNet, a generalist model for the instance segmentation of mitochondria. There are also tools to quickly build and annotate training datasets, train generic panoptic segmentation models, finetune existing models, and scalably run inference on 2D or 3D data. To make segmentation model training faster and more robust, CEM pre-trained weights are used by default.

ModularImageAnalysis (MIA) is an ImageJ plugin which provides a modular framework for assembling image and object analysis workflows. Detected objects can be transformed, filtered, measured and related. Analysis workflows are batch-enabled by default, allowing easy processing of high-content datasets.

• Interact programmatically with the BioImage Archive and other data resources
• Apply pre-built machine learning models to image data
• Train and retrain machine learning models on image data
• Utilise machine learning approaches for object detection, image segmentation and de-noising
• Generate quantitative conclusions from images

ASTEC stands for Adaptive Segmentation and Tracking of Embryonic Cells. It proposes a full workflow for time lapse light sheet imaging analysis, including drift/motion compensation before the segmentation itself, and the capacity to correct for it.  It was used to process 3D+t movies acquired by the MuViSPIM light-sheet microscope in particular.

ClearMap is a toolbox for the analysis and registration of volumetric data from cleared tissues.

It was initially developed to map brain activity at cellular resolution in whole mouse brains using immediate early gene expression. It has since then been extended as a tool for the qunatification of whole mouse brain vascualtur networks at capilary resolution.

It is composed of sevral specialized modules or scripts: tubemap, cellmap, WobblyStitcher.

BaSiC is a software tool for Background and Shading correction of Optical Microscopy Images. It implements an image correction method based on low-rank and sparse decomposition to solve both shading in space and background variation in time. It can correct temporal drift in time-lapse microscopy data and thus improve continuous single-cell quantification. BaSiC is available as a Fiji/ImageJ plugin.

Voxelytic-Align is a commercial software provided as a service on cloud targetted to electron microscopy reconstruction (alignement, artifact correction...)

Hot-Knife is a library specifically designed for FIB-SEM data and thick sections, which includes code for flattening, deformable alignment with features and a more robust kind of block-matching, and some visualization, manual correction, and import and export tools (n5).

A collection of Java tools and HTTP services (APIs) for rendering transformed image tiles that includes:

Removal of heterogeneous background from image data of single-molecule localization microscopy, using extreme value-based emitter recovery (EVER).

Quote:

EVER requires no manual adjustment of parameters and has been implemented as an easy-to-use ImageJ plugin that can immediately enhance the quality of reconstructed super-resolution images. This method is validated as an efficient way for robust nanoscale imaging of samples with heterogeneous background fluorescence, such as thicker tissue and cells.

pyTFM is a python package that allows you to analyze force generation and stresses in cells, cell colonies, and confluent cell layers growing on a 2-dimensional surface. This package implements the procedures of Traction Force Microscopy and Monolayer Stress Microscopy. In addition to the standard measures for stress and force generation, it also includes the line tension, a measure for the force transfer exclusively across cell-cell boundaries. pyTFM includes an addon for the image annotation tool clickpoints allowing you to quickly analyze and vizualize large datasets.

The napari-pyclesperanto-assistant is a yet experimental napari plugin for building GPU-accelerated image processing workflows targeting life-sciences and bio-image analysis. It is part of the clEsperanto project. It uses pyclesperanto and pyopencl as backend for processing images.

Thie lecture is for Python beginners who want to dive into image processing with Python. It specifically aims for students and scientists working with microscopy images in the life sciences. We start with python basics, dive into descriptive statistics for working with measurements and matplotlib for plotting results.

These slides give an introduction to user interfacre customization in ImageJ using ImageJ Macro and to ImageJ Macro Markdown.
