Hi,
I downloaded ImageJ for Mac and downloaded Loci and Bio-formats files (and unzipped) into ImageJ plugins folder according to instructions given on Open Microscopy (http://www.openmicroscopy.org). However, I cannot open my files and cannot see these plugins in ImageJ scroll-down plugin menu. I would be grateful if someone could help. I really need this for analysis of my data. Thank you |

You should not need to unzip the bioformats_package.jar file; just moving it to your ImageJ plugins folder is sufficient. If the file is named bioformats_package.zip when you download it, then it will need to be renamed to bioformats_package.jar after being moved.

Hi Melissa, Thanks a lot. The name of the file in my ImageJ plugins folder is correct and I didn`t need to change it or unzip it. However, when I open ImageJ which I have very recently installed, I cannot see anything at all in the Plugins pull-down menu. I also cannot open microscopy files by drag and dropping them onto ImageJ. I never had this type of problem when I was using windows. I wonder if this is a Mac problem.

Hi Saman,

I tried downloading ImageJ 1.48 from http://imagej.net/download.html and could not reproduce this problem. It is almost certainly some sort of installation issue. Did you try Fiji? It is a distribution of ImageJ that comes with Bio-Formats and other useful plugins pre-installed. It is based on ImageJ2, which includes an Updater component that makes managing plugins much easier. http://fiji.sc/Downloads Regards, Curtis On Sun, Aug 10, 2014 at 4:03 AM, Saman <[hidden email]> wrote: > Hi Melissa, > > Thanks a lot.

Hi Curtis, Thanks a lot. You are right, it did seem like an installation issue. I can use ImageJ and install plug-ins easily now after reinstallation. I am also looking into Fiji. We have it on another computer in our lab and it seems to be easy to use.

Hi Curtis, I just installed Fiji. It`s amazing! It has everything I need and it is very easy to use. The timing could`t haven been better as I have a lot data to analyse. Thanks everyone for guiding me through this, Saman On Mon, Aug 25, 2014 at 2:39 PM, Saman Ebrahimi <[hidden email]> wrote:
