Course description

Image analysis is a major headache for many researchers. Where to start? Which software is ‘best’?

Unfortunately many researchers are a bit scared of image analysis so they tend to acquire lots of images and push the analysis part to ‘tomorrow’.

More often than not, when they get to it and find a colleague to help them build a pipeline, they realize that they should have done things differently before or while acquiring the images. For example, they should have designed their sample differently or maybe paid more attention to how they were focusing on the sample, avoid those annoying saturated areas…

Image analysis is the goal of all microscopy. It must be included in the sample and experimental design from the very start.

Learning Objectives

  • Meet the Bioimage Informatics Unit experts one can turn to for help with image analysis.

  • Practice pipelines of typical examples of what can be done with image analysis and the limitations for each examples.

  • Practice pipelines that demonstrate which image artifacts can be corrected by image analysis.

  • Practice pipelines that demonstrate which image artifacts cannot be corrected by image analysis.
