Hi Kenneth,
I might add on that from a windows-side: I am usually running ImageJ or
Fiji on a linux machine but sometimes I need remote access from a
windows PC. X11 works fine for that. I tried several X11 software
versions for windows (commercial and open source) and finally went for
cygwin with X11 support. It is free, stable and pretty fast. I use
cygwin routinely for remote access to microscope PCs and linux servers,
either from within the institute or from home.
The speed running ImageJ/Fiji remotely of course depends on the amount
of data to display, rebuilding/refreshing a window as well as moving the
mouse pointer might have a little delay. However, you can either start a
new project remotely or alternatively exporting the local display via
vnc to interact with a locally running project.
Best,
Thorsten
