These two KNIME workflow solutions are similar: first one detects nuclei and spots inside the nuclei without taking care of surrounding regions, i.e. mitochondria. The second one provides the full solution including spots in mitochondria.

see section 2.4 for KNIME workflow. Section 2.3 is also available, using Fiji. 

The article describes how a FRAP experiment can be conducted and subsequently analyzed. This includes steps in ImageJ and subsequent normalization of the intensity data.

This is a qualitative analysis, and curve fitting is done using Excel. 

Requires "Template matching and Slice alignment plugin"

For each ROI, provides the ratio of pixels over a given threshold over the total number of pixels in the ROI.

Very simple application that lets you load your time-lapse intensity data to generate the normalized FRAP recovery curve and perform exponential curve fitting.

This protocol perform a median filter on the active sequence using the ImageJ rank filter plugin. Then, it converts the result back into Icy for display.

An example showing passing data between ICY and ImageJ using ImagePlus object. 

This tool adds to ImageJ functions to build and organize montages. It comes with the ImageJ installer but can also be downloaded from the ImageJ wiki. A video tutorial is available.

OMERO is an image database application consisting of a server and several clients, the most important of which are the web client and _Insight_ java application. Metadata are extracted from images that have been imported (either using the Insight client, or directly from the filesystem), and this is accessible for search. A standardised hierarchy of _Project > Dataset > Image_ in which image thumbnails can be viewed, combined with group membership, tagging, and attachment of results and other files gives a powerful framework for organising scientific image data.

CellX is an open-source software package of workflow template for cell segmentation, intensity quantification, and cell tracking on a variety of microscopy images with distinguishable cell boundary.

Installation and step-by-step usage details are described in Mayer et al (2013). 

The Fiji distribution of ImageJ comes with several manual tracking tools, two of which are particularly useful:

* _Plugins->Tracking->Manual Tracking_

* _Plugins->Tracking->Manual tracking with TrackMate_ (TrackMate is an advanced automatic tracking tool, with the option for manual editing of tracks)

The _Manual Tracking_ plugin is quick to use, intuitive and produces easy-to-understand output. TrackMate has the advantage that automatic detection and linkage can be combined with manual input.

Image processing library for Python >The scikit-image SciKit (toolkit for SciPy) extends scipy.ndimage to provide a versatile set of image processing routines. It is written in the Python language. This SciKit is developed by the SciPy community. All contributions are most welcome!

This protocol takes a folder containing images as input and extract each channel in a separate sub folder.

This method allows to compute a threshold that preserves the moments of an image. In ImageJ/Fiji, you can access it in Image->Ajust->Threshold and choose Moments in the list. In Aphelion, the tool is in Segmentation->Threshold->AphImgMomentThreshold The original paper is 2449

Tracks a cell in a 2D video using active contours, and produces a list of ROI where intensity is measured and reported into a workbook. The cell must be first delineated with a ROI in the first image of the video.

SlideToolkit is a collection of command-line tools to assist with the automated histology analysis of whole-slide images. The publication linked in the "reference" details the actual workflow. 

This includes tools to organize the data, perform tiling and subsequent batch processing of the generated tiles in a cell profiler pipeline. All the tools are designed to run on a single PC or on a HPC system. The scripts in the toolkit are on github under MIT licence.
