Requirements
Prior Experience with ImageJ: Participants should have a basic familiarity with ImageJ and its fundamental features. They should be comfortable with tasks like image import, basic processing (e.g., brightness/contrast adjustments), and measurements.
Own notebook: Participants are required to bring their own notebook for hands-on exercises. If you do not have access to a notebook, please inform us in advance, and we will provide you with one. Prior to the event, you will receive a list of required software programs to install for the course.
