[Plantsci] Introduction to Scientific Digital Imaging workshop

[Joy Rogers-Caron]

On behalf of David Elliott:

Are scientific digital images art or data? Is there a right or wrong way to
manipulate scientific images?

The primary goals of this 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.

The workshop will be held in Drachman Hall, room B109, from 8:30am-1:00pm on
Tuesday, January 8, 2013.

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
