Wayne:
While lurking in the electronic shadows, collecting examples of your
disciples exhausting work in mastering your magical image analysis
techniques, I now see your famous name on MY screen! For several weeks now
I have wanted to personally ask you if you (or anyone else) has published a
textbook on learning ImageJ from scratch, with little or no previous
experience.
I attended the Univ of Mich on a scholarship (1956-58) to pursue electrical
engineering, but due to weak math study skills I left in disgrace after two
years, I did attempt to read (perhaps not "study") books on Fortran, Basic,
Cobol, Pascal, and actually programmed (mid 1970s) a Heath H-8 in its
"assembly language" front panel to print a line of text on an Epson M-80
printer. Hooray! "Six munts ago I cood not spell inguneer" but I wuz one".
Later I took a Wayne State Univ class (CSC105) on the C language and an
intro to Unix. We used the Waite Group's New C Primer Plus 2nd ed, and
Gardner's Learning Unix 2nd ed. I was doing "A-" work in daily
assignments, but on final exam day, I accidentally hit a bad key and lost
my entire file, the instructor was not able to recover it, so I accepted a
final grade of D with no further whining.
I was then pursuing a career trying to invade the Detroit Police Dept
Scientific Lab in 1971, as I had ten years experience in engineering and
research lab photography, holography, instrumentation, and even
metallography. High-res cameras and microscopes became my passion. My
career suddenly took an unexpected diversion, I was invited to join a new
Aviation Operations Section and flew their helicopters and airplanes for
25+ years, and abandoned a science-driven goal.
Now I am renovating a Zeiss GFL darkfield microscope I was offered for
$150, it was incomplete (no lamp bulb, socket or power supply) and the left
ocular prism was damaged, although the condenser alone once sold for $800.
I have reverse-engineered the stand and came up with a home made lamp
socket, added a no-name aplanat condenser for brightfield use, all on a
Sears lathe.
I accidentally learned that ImageJ was invented by some guru, someplace, to
analyze images, and I started re-reading my WSU text books, but have
nothing on ImageJ itself. Friday I found a copy of the Waite Group C Primer
Plus, and it might start me off for a while.
Is there any efficient text that goes directly to the point in image
analysis?
What is the easiest route to adding a digital camera to a trinocular head I
found to replace the damaged one? I have a Nikon D-60 but it's a bit heavy,
I might need to invent a spring-balance mechanism to make focusing easier.
Actually, I would rather use my 1961 Linhof Techika 4x5 and stay stuck in
German history. This may require a special legacy Zeiss projection ocular,
which I have never seen.
"Thank You For Your Service!" is all I can say after reading some history
on Image.
Odd coincidence, I met one of your associates in biological microscopy on
the message board, Prof Gordon, who for some reason, decided to live in a
tiny village in backwoods Manitoba exactly where my Polish-Ukrainian family
settled in 1913. He now is a friend of my cousin, who had the only combined
restaurant, liquor store and post office in the region, with a pool
hall/barber shop next door ran by the father of my father's best childhood
friend.
Next time we visit, I will bring some new waders to search for fresh
diatoms, to swap for local pierogi.
