Release Description

We are pleased to announce the first public release of Multi-Channel Nuclear Analysis, an ImageJ/FIJI plugin for automated nuclear segmentation and multi-channel fluorescence analysis.

What is Multi-Channel Nuclear Analysis?
This plugin combines StarDist's robust nuclear segmentation with versatile multi-channel analysis capabilities, providing researchers with a user-friendly tool for quantitative fluorescence microscopy. The plugin segments nuclei and measures various parameters across multiple fluorescence channels simultaneously.

Key Features:

  • Intuitive graphical user interface for parameter configuration
  • Automated nuclear segmentation using StarDist
  • Multi-channel fluorescence analysis with customizable settings
  • Batch processing capability for multiple images
  • Comprehensive data output in CSV format for downstream analysis
  • Automatic generation of visualization images

This Release Includes:

  • Main plugin (Multi_Channel_Nuclear_Analysis.ijm)
  • Plugin for Merging Channels into Multi-Channel TIF Files (Merge_multi_channel_tif.ijm)
  • Non-interactive script version (Script_manual_analysis.ijm)
  • Example image dataset for testing
  • Comprehensive documentation and link to video tutorial

Requirements:

  • FIJI/ImageJ (latest version recommended)
  • StarDist plugin
  • CSBDeep plugin
  • TensorFlow plugin

Getting Started:

  1. Install FIJI/ImageJ from https://fiji.sc/
