ImageJ Macros

This macro batch processes all the 2D images (tif and jpg files) located in a user defined folder by calling Fiji Weka trainable segmentation to classify each pixel, and reports the areas of each class in a human readable results table. The classifier to be applied to each image should be previously trained on a representative image by an expert and exported to file (Save classifier) into the image folder to be processed.

This macro segments blood vessels in a 3D stack. It is suited for well-contrasted images (low background) and works better if the width of the vessels of interest is reasonably uniform.

Autofocus hyperstack macro:

Select the in focus frame from each slice of a hyperstack and create a new stack of just the in focus frames. Based on algorithm F-11 "Normalized Variance".

Original macro by Andy Weller.

This macro performs measurements of average and standard deviation intensity inside wells of a protein microarray (the number of wells is limited to 250, the image should be cropped for larger arrays). The macro requires the "ImageJ plugins toolkit". To ensure compatibility with Fiji you should download the version 1.6.1. The installation instructions can be found here, it only consists in un-compressing the .jar file from the previous archive to Fiji plugins folder.

The macro segments and classifies human spermatozoids nuclei (DAPI) based on the number of FISH signals (spots) they contain. It reports the percentage of occurrences of user defined classes (combinations of spot multiplicity in the FISH channels) as well as the position (point selections) of the detected nuclei falling in these classes. The input image should be an hyperstack with 4 channels: DAPI (first channel) and three FISH channels. The images are typically obtained as a maximum intensity projection of few channels (confocal) or a single z slice acquisition (widefield).
