Integrated environment for acquisition and processing

As ImageJ is such an extensible application for acquisition, processing, and analysis, it is impossible to deal with all the options and extensions. In this edition, I will focus on image processing and analysis. I recommend the Fiji distribution for people beginning with ImageJ, as it contains a large number of useful features that allow you to get off to a running start. Another advantage is the presence of the script editor supplied with Fiji, which has many features that some of the larger Java development suites also provide. These features mainly include syntax highlighting and smart indenting. The editor also includes a selection of macro and plugin templates that allow for a basic framework to start with.
