[Plantsci] Digital Imaging workshop

[Joy Rogers-Caron]

ON BEHALF OF DAVID ELLIOTT

 

 

SCIENTIFIC DIGITAL IMAGING WORKSHOP
The primary goals of the Introduction to Scientific Digital Imaging workshop
are to show that the image is really data, to illustrate what can be done
with those data, and the ease with which they can be compromised.
Presentations will include what constitutes a digital image, what goes into
acquiring good images, as well as jargon and concepts associated with
digital images.  These include such topics as pixels, resolution,
over-saturation, color space, image format, bit depth, and image processing
filters.  While the use of digital images is common in a wide variety of
scientific disciplines, the majority of examples will come from the world of
microscopy.  Options and formats for presentation of images will also be
presented, as will a discussion of the ethical (and not so ethical) use of
digital images.  It should be noted that this is NOT a workshop on image
analysis, microscope techniques, or a Photoshop tutorial.  (Note: Doug
Cromey is one of the instructors for this workshop.)

The workshop will be held in Drachman B109, from 8:30am-1:00pm on Thursday,
January 5, 2012.

The UA Vice-President for Research's Office for the Responsible Conduct of
Research will allow NIH and NSF funded graduate students to earn 4 hours of
RCR training for attending the Introduction to Scientific Digital Imaging
workshop next month.  See: http://orcr.vpr.arizona.edu/rcreducation
