[Plsgs] FW: Digital Imaging Workshop

[Rogers-Caron, Joy E - (jerogers)]

On behalf of David Elliott:




Introduction to Scientific Digital Imaging workshop


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.

To register for the workshop, please go to:  http://mcb2.arizona.edu/ipc/dig_im_workshop/imagingWorkshop.cfm

The workshop will be held in Marley 230, from 8:30am-1:00pm on Thursday, August 22, 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.arizona.edu/rio
