Scientific image
 Is different than a regular digital photograph of a
beautiful scene you shot.
 Digital images are samples of information
Thoria Donia
What is Digital Image Analysis?
 Using the numbers in digital pictures to get useful information
 REMEMBER:
 Start with an image -- end with an answer
Thoria Donia
How can you download image J

https://www.embl.de/services/core_facilities/almf/serv
ices/downloads/imageJ/imageJ_setup/
You just double click with EMBL ImageJ setup v1_0f,
and then file downloading will be start.
 You have to download Java using this link
 https://java.com/en/
 If you have any message concerning Javaw.exe just
open the setuped version in program files and click that
file then complete setup steps and open image J
Thoria Donia
When opening the program you will get this window just
choose allow access
Thoria Donia
Some information about the program
 1- Runs everywhere: it is written in Java, It to run
on Linux, Mac OS X and Windows, in both 32-bit
and 64-bit modes.
 2- Open source: ImageJ and its Java source code
are freely available and in the public domain. No
license is required.
 3- ImageJ has a large and knowledgeable
worldwide user community.
 4- Data types: 8-bit grayscale or indexed color, 16-
bit unsigned integer, 32-bit floating-point and RGB
color
Thoria Donia
Some information about the
program
 5- File Formats: Open and save all supported data types as TIFF
 6- All analysis and processing functions work at any magnification
factor.
 7-Selections:
 Create rectangular, elliptical or irregular area selections. Create
line and point selections. Edit selections and automatically create
them using the wand tool. Draw, fill, clear, filter or measure
selections. Save selections and transfer them to other images.
 8- Image Enhancement:
 Supports smoothing, sharpening, edge detection, median filtering
and thresholding on both 8-bit grayscale and RGB color images.
Interactively adjust brightness and contrast of 8, 16 and 32-bit
images.

To know about the program after setup
help then about image J
Thoria Donia
Different bars of the program
Thoria Donia
Common tools in image J
Thoria Donia
Adjusting image contrast and brightness
Thoria Donia
Important notes
 Adjusting contrast and brightness is just for pictures
you take for demonstration and not in captured
photo for analysis because when you capture it you
adjust settings in all groups.
 It is not a tool to change anything about analyzed
image.
Thoria Donia
Analysis done by image J
Measure area, mean, standard
deviation, min and max of selection or
entire image.
Measure lengths and angles. Use real
world measurement units such as
millimeters.
Thoria Donia
Topics that will be covered today
 1- Analysis of gel and western blot images
 2- Analysis of fluorescence and
colocalization signal of immunofluorescence
images
 3-Analysis of nanoparticle size distribution
 4- Analysis of stained liver tissue
 5-Counting the cells
Thoria Donia
Analysis of DNA gel using
image J
Steps you can follow as screen
shot
 1- open image J software from its setuped icon
Thoria Donia
This is the image
Thoria Donia
Open the image of gel you want to analyze By
clicking file menu then open
Thoria Donia
As image J can not read the white bands so invert colors in
image by edit .invert
Thoria Donia
Photo after color inversionbands will appear in
black
Thoria Donia
Select the area of bands using rectangular selection
Thoria Donia
Analyze .gels ..select the first lane
Thoria Donia
Analyze-gel-plot lanes
Thoria Donia
Thoria Donia
Use straight line tool and shift to detect
bands
Thoria Donia
Another option to select area of each
band separately
Thoria Donia
Use wand tool to detect areas of bands
Thoria Donia
Click analyze gel ----label peaks
Thoria Donia
You can save your results by clicking file .save
as in results window
Thoria Donia
Then open in excel and analyze the results
Thoria Donia
In this case which is semiquantitative
analysis of DNA in gel image
 You can calculate the fold change by dividing over
the area or percent of each group or band on that
of control
 You can add the values on each band in the image
that will be added in paper. Something like in this

Western blot overview
Thoria Donia
Harry Towbin, in Encyclopedia of Immunology (Second Edition), 1998
Image for western blot
Thoria Donia
Open the image in image J
Thoria Donia
As there is too much free space crop the
image
Thoria Donia
Rectangular selection then image crop
Thoria Donia
Image became as in view
Thoria Donia
As in this image select one lane and the last one
which is internal control as following
Thoria Donia
It will be selected with no. 1 in the middle
Thoria Donia
Move the selection to the last lane and analyze
gel select next lane and no.2 will be added on
this lane
Thoria Donia
Analyze gel plot lanes
Thoria Donia
Make selection like this using shift and line
tool
Thoria Donia
Use wand tool to analyze area of each
band
Thoria Donia
You just click wand tool and in the middle
of area click you will get the area size in
results file
Thoria Donia
Click analyze gels then label peaks you will
get the percent of area
Thoria Donia
Then file ---save as and save results for
further analysis
Thoria Donia
To get the fold change of each band first divide
over that of each internal control then the
resulted value on control value (non treated)
Thoria Donia
Analysis of fluorescence signal you get
from confocal microscopy
Thoria Donia
Immunofluorescence

Analyzing fluorescence in this image
(lysotracker staining)
Thoria Donia
Open the image in image J
Thoria Donia
Split colors in this image as following
Thoria Donia
You will get three images with different
color layers
Thoria Donia
Note:
 The green layer is not included as you have only
red fluorescence and blue for nucleus and we will
use blue layer later in counting cells.
 So Just close the green layer window and other
images will be analyzed separately one to get red
fluorescence and the other for cell count.
Thoria Donia
For counting cells
Thoria Donia
Edit ..invert
Thoria Donia
Remove the diameter of cell (as no. ) by
eraser
Thoria Donia
Image -----adjust-----threshold
Thoria Donia
Move the down scroll of threshold window
till adjusting nuclei view
Thoria Donia
Click apply and analyze---particles 60-
infinity
Thoria Donia
Important
 You should fix the settings for analysis of
images in different groups to get acceptable
meaning.
Thoria Donia
Analysis of red fluorescence
Thoria Donia
Edit ------invert
Thoria Donia
You will get white background and black
fluorescent signal
Thoria Donia
Remove diameter by eraser
Thoria Donia
Image----adjust-----threshold
Thoria Donia
Click apply or move the down scroll to
clarify the fluorescence then analyze
..analyze particles
Thoria Donia
Keep all settings in default version with just
changing size to be 0-infinity
Thoria Donia
Important note:
Thoria Donia
Image J guide book
0 (infinitely elongated polygon) to 1 (perfect circle).
Results will appear in summary
Thoria Donia
To calculate the signal per cell
 Just divide the red signal results on number of cells
and the signal will be per cell as this example

Important note:
 Thresholding tool setting in a positive control
specimen should then be duplicated in every image
to be compared

Colocalization Analysis
Colocalization .....observation of the spatial
overlap between two (or more) different
fluorescent labels, each having a separate
emission wavelength, to see if the different
"targets" are located in the same area of the cell
or very near to one another.
Images for analysis of colocalization
Thoria Donia
Open the image in image J
Thoria Donia
Split image colors
Thoria Donia
Delete the blue color image for DAPI
Thoria Donia
Click plugins ----choose colocalization
analysis then colocalization highlighter
Thoria Donia
Record the settings you used to apply the
same for all studied images
Thoria Donia
You will get two images
 One for colocalized points in 8 bit and the other in
RGB
 You can save them and the image for analysis will
be 8 bit
Thoria Donia
Thoria Donia
Colocalized point (8 bit)

Thoria Donia
Analyze .analyze particles
Thoria Donia
Keep all settings in default form with
changing size to be 60- infinity
Thoria Donia
Save analysis or continue analyzing other
images and all results will appear in
summary
Thoria Donia
Final result should be like that colocalized
pixel/cell by dividing the colocalized area
(total area column)over the no. of cells

If nothing happen just make your image 8
bit and then change the upper scroll till
you get clear cells
Thoria Donia
Click apply
Thoria Donia
To fill holes in cells choose process then
binary then fill holes
Thoria Donia
For much processing processbinary
.convert to mask
Thoria Donia
To separate the connected cells
process ----binary .watershed
