The following WEB sites contain a series of training exercises for Teachers in Image Processing

These exercises make use of the applet version of ImageJ. This version should shortly be running in a separate "ImageJ" window. The download will take a few seconds with an Ethernet connection or about two minutes using a 28.8 modem. Quit ImageJ by clicking on the "ImageJ" window's close button. When you go to the Windows version of one of the exercises below the ImageJ application will remain running in the background.

(NOTE: ImageJ opens up without any problems using either Netscape of Internet Explorer on Windows. Internet Explorer 4.5 and above works fine on the Macintosh, but there is no Netscape support at this time on the Macintosh. For further information on this go to Pepsan and Associates Link) - Java on the Macintosh. If you wish to download a version of ImageJ to your computer's hard drive so you can evaluate your own images a download can be obtained at the following site.

Problems and Comments on ImageJ's performance. An Adobe file that you might want to look at and/or print out.

Modifying ImageJ This link will take you to a WEB page with instructions on how to modify ImageJ to present your own files. There is NO programming involved.

In the exercises categories that are described below you will have three windows open at a time (the WEB page, ImageJ and at least one image) so you may want to go to your control panel on your computer and change the monitor size so that you can readily move between the different windows.

IMAGE PROCESSING SKILLS

A series of introductory exercises involving the mathematical analysis of some common objects. The skills acquired by student s here can be used to investigate the flora and fauna in the world around them.

GENERAL SCIENCE

General measuring exercises using a butterfly example and fiber analysis. Density slicing techniques are used with fiber analysis as well as the environmental exercise on the Aral Sea.

BIOLOGY

Exercises designed to serve as an introduction to measurement in microscopy using models. Comparisons are made between cellular light microscopic views and those taken with the scanning electron microscope. A human biology exercise examines osteoporotic bone.
