Scientific Image Editing and Figure Creation - VIRTUAL WORKSHOP

Content

Main Target Group and Focus:

Life or Natural Scientists starting from undergraduate students (optimally with some practical imaging experience). Nevertheless, independent of the scientific background, everybody is invited to join if interested in the topic.

Detailed workinar content overview:

• Proper editing of scientific images for publications and good scientific image handling practice
• Understanding all aspects of digital images (e.g. file formats, metadata, bit depth, histogram,…)
• Proper merging of fluorescent channels and use of pseudo-colors and calibration bars
• Proper application of 2D projections from 3D data
• Optional: short glance on 3D reconstruction options in Fiji/ImageJ
• Scaling images to units (e.g. µm) via metadata and adding scale bars
• Uneven lighting correction methods for visualization
• Background correction methods
• Proper contrast adjustment respecting good scientific practice limits
• Avoiding data alterations when exporting images for publication figures
• Introduction to the vector graphic software Inkscape for publication figure creation
• Creating example figures (if desired also with own images)

All methods are learned hands-on with plenty of practical exercises to get confidence in applying them in your daily work.
