Rodbard is a four parameter general curve fit function proposed by David Rodbard at NIH. You first need to calibrate the software so that it gives you correctly scaled measurements (without calibration, all results will be given in pixels). If the calibration function is not satisfactory, bring up the Calibrate dialog box again and select a different curve fitting method. ImageJ will then display the calibration function. calibration function in ImageJ is currently limited to 20 measurements. To calibrate the image, enter the known standard values in the right column, select a curve fitting method from the drop down menu, enter the unit of measurement, and click OK. The first step in calibrating the image is to measure the mean gray value of the. When finished making the measurements, select Analyze>Calibrate to display the Calibrate dialog box.

There is an example that shows how to calibrate to an optical density step tablet. Use this dialog box to calibrate an image to a set of density standards, for example radioactive isotope standards or a calibrated optical density step tablet.īefore using this command, use Analyze>Clear Results to reset the measurement counter and use one of the selection tools and Analyze>Measure to record the mean gray value of each of the standards.

Calibration may be problematic, but consider using graph-paper or including a ruler in the image. Also, when I open the imagej in the upper left corner some values appear in microns (212x212) followed by another value (1024x1024). Use this dialog box to calibrate an image to a set of density standards. Marjoribanks November 2020 edited from notes by Alex Kai Wei, 2020).
