The objective of the course is focused on the development of both theoretical and practical foundations of image processing in microscopy.

The course is aimed at researchers and students interested in the knowledge and implementation of microscopic image processing techniques.

The focus of the course is mainly practical, and for this the free software ImageJ / Fiji will be used both in the pre-processing and intermediate or advanced analysis stages. The language of “macros” that allows to carry out specific tasks in concrete problems will be presented and analyzed. No programming knowledge is required.

There will be a part of analysis of practical cases for those students who wish and bring their samples and images. Different problems associated with samples of interest in Biology, Biomedicine and the Environment will be analyzed.
