![]() ![]() When finished, click in the small box at the starting point (or double click), and ImageJ will automatically draw the last segment. By using Analyze > Tools > Scale Bar we can add the scale bar with a user-defined length, width, color, position, and label. With ImageJ/FIJI files from any microscope system can be read in along with their scaling information (shout-out to Curtis and Melissa and the Bio-Formats project). To create a polygon selection, click repeatedly with the mouse to create line segments. We therefore include scale bars in microscopy images. Alternatively, use Ctrl D ( Edit ▷ Draw ↓) to permanently draw the text on the image. Segment length and angle are displayed in the status bar during drawing (see 6: Toggling Calibrated Units). Use Ctrl B ( Image ▷Overlay ▷ Add Selection… ↓) to create non-destructive text annotations ( see Overlays↑ OverlayDrawStringDemo, TextOverlay macros).20: Hexadecimal Color Values↓ provides instructions on how to define semi-transparent colored backgrounds ( see also DrawTextWithBackground macro) Before you can add a scale bar or analyse images, the images have to be calibrated to the correct measurement units. Use Ctrl Y ( Edit ▷Selection ▷ Properties… ↓) to re-adjust font color and size, text justification and to specify a background color for the text selection.Note that menu shortcuts require holding down Ctrl while using the Text Tool ( see Using Keyboard Shortcuts↑) Use Alt to type special unit symbols such as μ ( Alt M) or Å ( Alt Shift A). ![]() This will allow us to visually estimate the size of an object of interest in the.

This video tutorial shows you how to add a scale bar to an image in ImageJ.Font style and text alignment is specified in the Fonts widget, activated by double clicking on or by running Edit ▷Options ▷ Fonts…↓ Text is drawn in foreground color ( see Color Picker… ↓) Draw a line (scale bar) on the drop it at your preferred location, say lower right corner, and 3.Note the following when using the Text Tool: Do not check Global unless you wish all your images to have this calibration Click OK. Remember to visit the Analyze/Set scale menu. Enter the dimensions of the object/scale bar in the known distance box and set the units in the Unit of length box. In the Analyze/Tools/Scale Bar menu it is possible to modify every setting to add a Scale bar to the image. It creates text ROIs, rectangular selections containing one or more lines of text. Run the menu command Plugins/Spatial calibration/Set scale 1. ![]()
