We emphasize the utility of visual verification and correction of automatic centroid placement, without the need to perform time consuming corrections to object delineations for quantification.Ī schematic of the tool-chain workflow is shown in Figure 1. The tools we present use image binarization and other operations to extract and visualize meaningful colocalization signals, but ultimate quantification is based on a centroid-like approach in which objects are defined by a single point. To address the need for a high-throughput OBCA workflow that does not rely exclusively on fallible automated algorithms and that leverages human visual processing capacity, we have developed a set of tools for semi-automatic OBCA that combines automation for speed with visual/manual verification for accuracy.

A major reason for lowered accuracy is that full automation of segmentation and object identification is a notoriously difficult problem to solve, especially for complex objects such as neurons 15,16.
Tools and methods that employ fully automatic colocalization analysis have the benefit of providing reproducibility and speed, albeit sometimes at the cost of accuracy.
The plugin also contains basic tools for subsequent 3D reconstruction of object and tissue contour data. The colocalization Object Counter is optimized for annotating and keeping track of each object’s colocalization category, that is, which fluorescent label(s) are associated with each object. Published in ( ) This ImageJ plugin enables semi-automatic identification and quantification of image objects, with the opportunity to employ varying degrees of automation as desired.

The ImageJ plugin 1 might be somewhat hard to understand how to use effectively (though we hope not - the video above should help), but ImageJ plugin 2 should be very simple and useful to the broader community. I hope the community will appreciate our work. *3D visualize cells according to colocalization data
#Colocalization imagej software series#
*Export combined image series data to Matlab for 3D modeling Custom Matlab script: *Analyze and edit data from image series. *Import data from Colocalization Object Counter
*Save data, load data, and export data to Excel. *Tools for subsequent 3D modeling/representation of data: draw tissue contours and indicate image-series global XY-origin. *Assign, classify and keep track of multichannel signal presence/absence (colocalization analysis) for each cell/object. *Quantity (count) cells/objects in a semi-automatic manner. ImageJ plugin 2: Colocalization Object Counter: Thicker 3D scans may be best to sub-divide into substacks (built-in ImageJ substack tool) prior to analysis with this tool. *Meant for tissue slices a few cell layers deep, depending on density of cells-of-interest. This simplifies the analysis of 3D colocalization data. *Can transform Z-stack 3D data into a specialized 2D Z-projection where Z-projection colocalization artifacts are removed/reduced. *Designed to help avoid common colocalization analysis artifacts and errors. *Pre-process multichannel Z-stack (or 2D) microscopy images into a visual format for faster, simpler, and more accurate colocalization analysis.
