Free, online, self-paced ImageJ for Beginners Course going live February 2025

The Facility for Advanced Imaging and Microscopy is pleased to announce that an ImageJ for Beginners Course will be launched in February, 2025!

Brief description:

This course will cover the basics of getting started with ImageJ, basic image manipulation, basic shapes and measurements, automated object selection (segmentation) and measurements, image math, visualizing 3D images, and basic 3D measurements.

Throughout the course, you will learn how to use the Record function to make basic macros to apply the same actions from one image to another. At the end of the course you will be able to make a variety of images, including montages.

The course could be used two ways:

1. You can skip to the modules to get help as-needed.
2. You can complete all the modules and ungraded assignments to receive a Certificate of Completion.

To request access to the course:

• If you already signed up for the in-person ImageJ workshop or its waitlist, you will be added to the course.
• To be added to the course, email flsimicroscopy@vt.edu with the Subject line "ImageJ Course" to request to be added once it is live.

For any questions, please email flsimicroscopy@vt.edu with the Subject Line "ImageJ Course Question(s)."
