Doing image analysis is very nice, but of course you also need to keep track of your data and the measurements you have done. Using the OMERO plugin in FIJI allows you to connect to your data in OMERO and measurements done in Fiji can be directly linked to your analyzed images.
Let’s make a simple measurement: measure the length of zebrafish larvae.
