Hi Catherine, and everyone,

I have wondered the same - and not found any numbers anywhere.

I am in a distinct minority, being a metallurgist using IJ for following the precipitation, growth and dissolution of precipitate particles in steel.  A particular issue is that we have several species simultaneously present, of distinct (and very different) sizes, shapes, and locations within the microstructure.   Selecting imaging conditions that allow sensible resolution and quantification is a challenge.
 
Various uses of IJ have been published in the metallurgical literature, but often they are characterized by an uniformed approach - using jpeg file format is a common source of error.  
There is anecdotal evidence of a reluctance amongst fellow materials scientists to engage with (and benefit from) this list as the world of life-sciences is seen as 'too different' from ours.  Yes, there are differences, but much that can be adapted and learned from.

Best wishes!

Does anyone know the statistics on the usage of ImageJ? All I get when I search for the statistics on the usage is country by country stats.
Thank you!
