What is ImageJ?
ImageJ is an open source image processing program for multidimensional image data with a focus on scientific imaging.
What is Fiji?
Fiji Is Just ImageJ—a "batteries-included" distribution of ImageJ which includes many useful plugins contributed by the community.
What does ImageJ provide?
| Application | A user interface with functions to load, display, and save images. |
| Techniques | Image processing, colocalization, deconvolution, registration, segmentation, tracking, visualization and much more. |
| Plugins | A powerful mechanism for extending ImageJ in all kinds of useful ways. |
| Scripting | Automated, reproducible workflows via scripts and macros, including headless on a remote server or cluster. |
| Forum | A vibrant, diverse, and helpful user community that gives rise to insightful scientific exchanges. |
ImageJ's extensibility is the root of its effectiveness: many advanced image-processing methods are not provided by the core application, but rather are plugins written by specialists in specific fields, made available via update sites.
How do I get started?
- Get ImageJ from the Downloads page
- Read the Getting started tutorial.
- Then peruse the User Guides, additional tutorials, and presentations.
