    The channels needed to be separated before the measurements (or set to only measure in the green channel). For Integrated Intensity to be correct, the areas measured had to be the same. JPG compression may have altered the intensities in the images.
    The first part of the video is great and the discussions of controls and numbers of images are excellent.

    Hey Alyona! Thanks for the video! What to do with pictures which have pixels with intensity 0 and 255? You just mentioned - you don't want to see that... Can these pictures be used for analysis still? Do they need to be changed before? Thanks!

      Dear Ulrika, Have you solve this question? I also have undesaturated pixels and not sure if I can apply this method. cheers.

      Dear Ulrika, you can use the ImageJ threshold tool to create a mask that will exclude these values

    we want to do it in two different sections of tissues and compare them .
    So area need to be statistically same in both sections which is difficult to do in two different tissues. Please suggest.

      I am not 100% sure I understood your question. if you are measuring mean intensity per area, then the areas can be of a different size. The only thing to look out for is to pick areas in different samples that correspond to the same biological function.

    Hello thank you very much. I am analyzing the change of intensity of a blue image (the images are initially blue and gradually they become colorless). As a result the mean values increase as the images become transparent, why?. One may think that the mean value must decrease, mustn't it? I'd be very grateful if you answer me.

    • @AlyonaMinina
      @AlyonaMinina  7 лет назад +1

      Hi Felipe,
      this happens because you are measuring intensities: the whiter/brighter the spot - the higher the intensity.
      If you would like to quantify how blue each image is, go to the top menu-> image->color-> split channels ->you 'll get three images containing intensities for red, green and blue-> click on the image called "your file name (blue)" -> go to the top menu-> Edit-> Invert (this will invert the intensities on your image)-> perform the measurement of the intensities. Now you should get high values in the "blue" images and low values on the transparent images.
      best
      Alyona

      there is no problem here, you can either call it arbitrary units or relative fluorescence units.

    • @AlyonaMinina

      hejsan, jpeg does not contain the metadata about magnification used during image acquisition, but you can manually set the scale in ImageJ. Here is a nice instruction video for it: ruclips.net/video/8_yuEemH7Qs/видео.html

      Rabab Nezam these i don’t think there are any units to intensities in digital images. it will just intensity values ranging from 0 to 255 for an 8-bit image, for example

      i can't really answer this question in a simple way) It might be high due to the nature of your samples and then you will need high number of replicates to get a representative mean value

      it depends on the bit resolution of your image. For an 8-bit image you get values from 0 to 255 for each of the channels

    Hi Minina. Thank you for the nice video. I also wanted to ask: the "mean" in a histogram window refers to the averaged value of the 'R', 'G' , and 'B' values? If so (or not) why is it that histograms of the same-color picture but different ROI sizes read different values? I thought that the amount of red, for instance, in a picture should be the same regardless of picture size. Sorry for the length but kindly assist if you can. Thank you.

    • @AlyonaMinina
      @AlyonaMinina  7 лет назад +1

      the "mean" in a histogram window refers to the averaged value of the 'R', 'G' , and 'B' values?
      when the palette under the histogram chart is grey scale, the mean refers to the mean RGB intensity, you can see the intensity distribution for red, green and blue colors individually by clicking on the RGB button in the histrogram window once, twice or three times, respectively. When clicking on the RGB button you will see that the histogram palette turns red, blue or green.
      why is it that histograms of the same-color picture but different ROI sizes read different values?
      The mean value of intensity within a Region Of Interest will depend on what is selected within this region. For example, if ROI contains a dark part of the image, the mean value will also be low. By resizing the ROIs you include more or less pixels with low or high intensities, hence the mean values also vary.
