its simple and free software and easy to use anyone and very useful for analyzing the properties of SEM TEM and other samples. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ImageJ?

the options are limited so some advanced analysis for the sample is not possible only suitable for basic analysis and it can not process large or multiple sample files Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ImageJ solving and how is that benefiting you?

its very helpful to analyze my TEM sample image propertie like sample average nano size and the shape of the nanoparticles

What do you like best about ImageJ?

Imagej is a wonderful app for bioscience researchers.

It is free, user friendly and has several options for image processing and analysis especially fluoroscence microscopy images. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ImageJ?

For specific analysis plug-ins are required and at times the plug- ins are not available or have been discontinued. In such a case new methodology for analysis has to be found out which is time consuming.

UI can be improved to make it more interactive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ImageJ solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is helping me analyse fluorescence images and that helps us get an insight into cell physiology. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ImageJ?

ImageJ is exceptionally useful for research purposes through image analysis which uses precise measurements - and it's free! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ImageJ?

Occasionally crashes and can be a bit slow. The interface is a bit dry and using plugins can sometimes be complicated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ImageJ solving and how is that benefiting you?

I've used it for tracking foraging patterns in limpets and for measuring gastropod embryos under different environmental conditions. It's a top notch tool for quantifying biological patterns on both small and large scales. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ImageJ?

That it was created by and vetted for by National Institutes of Health and the Laboratory for Optical and Computational Instrumentation. It's competitors are more flashy, but ImageJ is function over form and gets the job done! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ImageJ?

It is an aging java based program. It could use a total overhaul to update it to a modern language and feature set. It does one job, while other software like BioRaft do imaging and other functions in a single package. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ImageJ solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is a no frills imaging program and it gets the job done. Ease of use is great, but we aren't more productive or benefinting finiancially from it. Performance hasn't increased as we now have to run multiple programs alongside ImageJ to get the results we need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ImageJ?

The best things about ImageJ are its diverse plugins and functions. It gives frequent updates and new plugins being added every year. It also has a very wide community. One can ask questions online in different forums and people are very supportive and involved in solving one's problem. Another great thing is the ability to connect it with other software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ImageJ?

I would like a better demonstration of new plugins using multiple different examples. Be it through different examples on their website or arranging more webinars. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ImageJ:

It's the best software for image analysis I have ever come across. Most of your requirements will get fulfilled with this. You might need to play around a bit. One could also connect it with Matlab and go for other sophisticated functions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ImageJ solving and how is that benefiting you?

Being a cell biologist, my work deals with high-end microscopy and subsequently analyzing the images obtained. ImageJ reads most of the commonly used image files. I have been using ImageJ for 6 years to process images, do segmentation of cells, thresholding images and automate analyze particles, track moving objects (moving proteins inside cells), to name a few. One could also automate a lot of functions using the macro, which can also be used to do batch processing of images. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ImageJ?

We can download plugins for whatever job we require and code is most times freely available over the internet Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ImageJ?

No default options available that makes images automatically open via imageJ. Always have to drag and drop files. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ImageJ:

I would recommend ImageJ to build up an international online community involving users as well as developers for a better feedback system and getting updates on new improvements, tips and guidance for use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ImageJ solving and how is that benefiting you?

Confocal and STED data analysis has become really easy. No requirement of long hours of running complex codes by self. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about ImageJ?

Measurement and threshold perfection. Very clearly distinguishes between micro particles of different colors. Uniform spreading of auto threshold makes image analysis and measurement very quick and easy. The ability to map the measured image on top of raw image provides much more precision of the obtained results. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ImageJ?

Complex settings that could be often hard to understand. There are no custom settings therefore needing one to select all the parameters and adjust the controllables everytime for a new image. For example, if I have to carry out the same kind of measurement on 10 similar images for obtaining a good statistical result, I can't create a custom program of my own and run the same for all the 10 images hence making me repeat the same steps over and over for each image Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ImageJ:

It definitely saves a lot of time when it comes to phase and particle measurements in a microstructure. Definitely worth trying it out and then one would want to keep using it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ImageJ solving and how is that benefiting you?

I usually base my experiments on the measured area fraction percentage from image J. It easily sets a threshold for an image that clearly distinguishes between colors and shapes of particles hence focusing on one set of particles that I intend to measure. The benefit of it is that it's easy to measure from anywhere, at office or at home without having to set up a microscope and spend a lot of time trying to set it up and measure.

What do you like best about ImageJ?

ImageJ offers a plethora of options to quantify and /or analyse data points obtained in various experiments such as clonogenic assay or foci experiments. The wide acceptance of this program across the scientific community make this a reliable program as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about ImageJ?

ImageJ doesn't sensitively quantify data points obtained in experiments with radioisotopes such as P32. Hence, its application is limited. Researchers should identify the need for use of this program according to the type of experiments conducted. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering ImageJ:

Identify the experimental output before employing this program for quantification. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is ImageJ solving and how is that benefiting you?

I have been using this program to enumerate colonies for clonogenic assay as well as quantify the number of foci in protein expression experiments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
