2. Scientific image
Is different than a regular digital photograph of a
beautiful scene you shot.
Digital images are samples of information
Thoria Donia
3. 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
4. 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
5. When opening the program you will get this window just
choose allow access
Thoria Donia
6. 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
7. 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.
Thoria Donia
8. To know about the program after setup
help then about image J
Thoria Donia
12. 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
13. 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
14. 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
29. You can save your results by clicking file .save
as in results window
Thoria Donia
30. Then open in excel and analyze the results
Thoria Donia
31. 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
Thoria Donia
PLOS ONE | www.plosone.org 1 January 2014 | Volume 9 | Issue 1 | e79795
44. Use wand tool to analyze area of each
band
Thoria Donia
45. You just click wand tool and in the middle
of area click you will get the area size in
results file
Thoria Donia
46. Click analyze gels then label peaks you will
get the percent of area
Thoria Donia
47. Then file ---save as and save results for
further analysis
Thoria Donia
48. 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
55. You will get three images with different
color layers
Thoria Donia
56. 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
73. 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

74. Important note:
Thresholding tool setting in a positive control
specimen should then be duplicated in every image
to be compared
Thoria Donia
75. Thoria Donia
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.
81. Record the settings you used to apply the
same for all studied images
Thoria Donia
82. 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
96. Keep all settings in default form with
changing size to be 60- infinity
Thoria Donia
97. Save analysis or continue analyzing other
images and all results will appear in
summary
Thoria Donia
98. Final result should be like that colocalized
pixel/cell by dividing the colocalized area
(total area column)over the no. of cells

T. Donia et 150 al. / Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications 517 (2019) 146e154
113. Edit ----distribution to see distribution of particle size
in the image and you will get distribution window keep
all information in default version then click ok
Thoria Donia
114. You will get area distribution graph as following by
clicking on list you will get the next window
Thoria Donia
115. Distribution histogram
Size range .split into small size classes
or bins and the no. of particles
contained in each size bin are counted.
Thoria Donia
116. You can save data for area distribution for
further analysis
