Fiji (software)
Fiji (Fiji Is Just ImageJ)[1] is an image processing package based on ImageJ.
For users, Fiji is easy to install and update, bundles a set of plugins in a coherent menu structure (and updatable), along with comprehensive documentation.
Introduction
Many plugins exist for ImageJ, with a wide range of applications, but also a wide range of quality.
Further, some plugins require specific versions of ImageJ, some require specific versions of third-party libraries, and some require additional Java components such as the Java compiler or Java3D.
Fiji provides a convenient way to install it all.
Audience
While Fiji was originally intended for neuro-scientists, it accumulated enough functionality to attract scientists from a variety of fields, such as cell biology[2], genetics, material science, etc.
Version Control
Fiji is fully Open Source; its sources live in a Git repository (see the homepage for details).
Supported platforms
Fiji runs on Windows, Linux and MacOSX, Intel 32-bit or 64-bit (not yet Itanium), with limited support for MacOSX/PPC.
