 +This plugin has been created as part of the metrology workgroup work, within the framework of the [[http://​rtmfm.cnrs.fr/​|"​French technological network for multidimensional fluorescence microscopies"​ (RT- MFM)]], supported by the [[http://​www.mrct.cnrs.fr/​|Mission ressources et compétences technologiques du CNRS" (MRCT)]]"​.
 +===== Features =====
 +This plugin allows measuring relevant parameters which helps testing, following and comparing microscopes performances. This is achieved by extracting four indicators out of standardized images, acquired from standardized samples: the estimation of the detector sensitivity , the evaluation of the field illumination homogeneity,​ the system resolution, and finally the characterization of its spectral registration. ​
 +
 +===== Description =====
 +This plugin is composed of five parts:
 +  * Generate CV report
 +  * Generate field illumination report
 +  * Generate PSF report
 +  * Generate axial resolution report
 +  * Generate co-alignement report
 +
 +Please refer to the {{:​plugin:​analysis:​metroloj:​metroloj.pdf|plugin'​s manual}} for more details.
 +===== References/​Citation =====
 +When using the “MetroloJ” plugin for publication,​ please refer to {{:​plugin:​analysis:​metroloj:​matthews_cordelieres_-_imagej_user_developer_conference_-_2010.pdf|Cédric Matthews and Fabrice P. Cordelieres,​ €œMetroloJ : an ImageJ plugin to help monitor microscopes'​€™ health, in ImageJ User & Developer Conference 2010 proceedings}},​ to this webpage and of course to ImageJ, as explained in the [[http://​rsbweb.nih.gov/​ij/​docs/​faqs.html|FAQ section, on ImageJ’s website]]. A copy of your paper being sent to both our e-mail address would also be greatly appreciated !
 +
 +===== Installation =====
 +Simply download {{:​plugin:​analysis:​metroloj:​metroloj_.jar|}} to the Plugins folder of ImageJ, use the "​Help/​Update Menus" function to refresh the plugins'​ menu.
 +
 +**Reports are generated as pdf files, using currently the {{:​plugin:​analysis:​metroloj:​itext-2.1.4.jar|iText library v2.1.4}} ([[http://​itextpdf.com/​download.php|Newer versions are available from iText website, but are not yet compatible with MetroloJ]]) which should be downloaded to the Plugins folder of ImageJ.**
