Sample images for Fiji - ImageJ background editing and image stitching

[conoroneill]

Hi all,

I am new to ImageJ and Fiji and want to develop my skills, in particular regarding background subtraction, image stitching and ROI analysis.
Currently I do not have access to the microscope I am meant to be working on, so I can’t access any images to practice on.
Would anyone know where I could find images that would be suitable for working on these criteria? I have already tried searching online but the images I find on Google images don’t seem to be of very good quality.

Thanks.

Hi @conoroneill
welcome to the forum.

Check this old post

Resource for sample whole-slide images

I do not currently have access to my hardware for image collection and need to do some development work requiring the full slide. I have found some sites that have repositories of whole-slide images but they are only available in a web viewer and not for download. Either that or they’re non-human cells. H&E and IHC stained breast cancer slides would be ideal, as would just about any stained SurgPath slides. Cheers, Jon

Welcome Conor!
All of the above sources have been extremely helpful when I don’t have access to my scope and need a demo image.
What types of slides are you working with? I’ve compiled a reasonably large database on images collected through my Augmentiqs device with tons of metadata including magnification, pixel/microns, etc.
If you’re having trouble finding anything let me know, I may have some I can share on a per request basis.
