Re: JS Putter, MD hematology inquiry; ImageJ download w/wo Java Win XP Pro

[Jeffrey S. Putter, M.D.]

Dear Sir or Madam:

 

I would appreciate recommendations from the members as to which version of ImageJ I should download for hematology research purposes to be used on a Win XP Pro operating system. The computer came installed with Java 2 Runtime Environment SE v1.4.2. Should I preferentially use the with bundled or without Java download version of ImageJ for Win XP Pro?



I am investigating under various experimental conditions red blood cell morphology and the storage lesion. I intend to use phase contrast photomicroscopy. I shall be using an Olympus CX41RF-5 upright phase contrast capable microscope adapted with an Olympus S99809 Microfire Digital Color Camera, 2MPixel, FireW, Optronic. I intend to measure areas and perimeters of the cells along with form factors under varying experimental conditions. I am interested in the set-up of specific experimental conditions that effect the biconcave discoid shape of red blood cells and their degradation into a spheroidal shape. This occurs over the evolution of 42 days of cold whole blood storage. I anticipate that most photomicrographs will be made using an Olympus 60x objective with specifications PLCN60x; Plan Achromat 60x Objective, NA0.8; WD0.2MM.



If possible with the ImageJ program, I am also be interested in estimating biovolume and protein density of RBCs during evolution of the storage lesion.



Thank you.

 

Cordially,

Doc, in my view, preferentially use the one bundled  with Java download
version of ImageJ for Win XP Pro, I have used both and I find my choice to
be better, regards Samuel
