The primary goals of the 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.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>To register for the workshop, please go to: <a href="http://www.mcb.arizona.edu/imagingWorkshop.cfm">http://www.mcb.arizona.edu/imagingWorkshop.cfm</a><o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>The workshop will be held in Marley 230, from 8:30am-1:00pm on Thursday, August 18, 2011.<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'> <o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"'>Graduate Students on NIH or NSF funded fellowships can earn 4hrs of Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) credit by attending this workshop. <a href="http://orcr.vpr.arizona.edu/rcreducation">http://orcr.vpr.arizona.edu/rcreducation</a><o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div></body></html>
