Hello Alexandre,
Check out the menu command, Edit->Selection->Specify. There you can define the region numerically. You can make the rectangle 1 line high to get a single scan line to average. You can use the arrow keys to move one row at a time. The Option key with the arrow keys lets you shrink or grow the size of the ROI.  You can write a simple macro to read your selection limits and loop through the lines, measuring each one.

Subject: ROI selection in line scan pictures

Hello,

I would like to analyze some confocal line scan pictures I acquired in
two channels. Each channel (called z slice in imagej) is a picture of
512 pixels width and 50,000 pixels height

I would like to be able to select a segment of the line scan, and
obtain average intensity levels for each line of the scan, in both
channels.

At the moment I have two difficulties:

1 - I can't find a way to select a segment as a ROI. If I want to see
the picture, I need to magnify it a lot, but then I can't draw a
rectangle encompassing the whole picture.

2 - Once I have the desired rectangle, How do I get average intensity
values for each line of the rectangle, and not for the whole
rectangle? (I thought about using the Gel analysis tool, but I don't
know if that would work)

Cheers,
