About the Course
Presentation is not analysis. It is a different game, played on a different field. The goal of presenting is to visually communicate image information, bringing reality to life through visualization.
Welcome to the “Image Data Presentation” course, designed to guide you through the processing and presentation of scientific images, especially microscopic data. Whether you’re preparing posters, creating figures for publications, or sharing scientific images on social media, this course will help.
What Can You Expect?
Understanding Images: What defines an image, and what information do we see? Which formats are best for scientific presentations? Can images be compressed without losing quality?
Presenting vs. Analysis: What makes an image meant for analysis different from one intended for presentation? Are there simple rules to follow?
Tools and Software: How can we use Adobe Creative Suite, Affinity tools, or free alternatives like GIMP and Inkscape?
Course Structure
This course is divided into two parts:
- Day 1 features OPEN lectures, available to everyone.

You’ll work with real examples using the following software:
