Need guidance:
I want to implement the feture to measure distances and angles on the Galary or view.
Idea:
Drawing a line shows the distance in micro meter.
Drawing two lines to measue the angle
How to proceed to implement?
At one point there was a Fiji/ImageJ plugin for the Microscope web interface which would probably do that. I cannot find details just now.
Yes, you can enable the ImJoy integration by going to settings - I think it’s the first sub-page that will let you switch it on.
However, I’m sad to report that it wasn’t working last I checked. It’s not had a lot of use and isn’t automatically tested, so hasn’t been a high priority to maintain. However, I’ll happily try to help anyone who wants to see if it can be fixed!

The ImJoy integration should let you open up gallery images in ImageJ, embedded within our software. That in turn would let you do what you describe.
is that the only thing needed to make it work or are there other installation steps?
That was the only thing needed - you might have needed to reload the web app. I think you also need an internet connection, as (for licensing reasons) the interpreter can’t be bundled into our software.
The ImJoy integration wasn’t ported to v3, and is not likely to appear very soon as it resulted in a lot of extra code that has now gone stale. I think it should still work in the latest v2 release of the software, but I’ll be honest and say I’ve not used that in quite some time, as I’m putting all my efforts into v3.
Hello @sigmaphi,
We have developed this feature (and a few other cool ones!) at GSI (Georgian Scientific Industries) for our custom distro, its currently in development and undergoing testing.
We are currently in process of setting up the ecommerce website, manufacturing and international shipping pipelines and should start shipping by Spring 2026 - all our microscopes will come with the feature integrated into it.

That looks exciting - is your source code available anywhere?
Also, if you’re not in touch with the Open Science Shop group, it might be worth us making an introduction (my apologies if you’re already in touch). That’s our main way of keeping people selling OpenFlexure based products in the loop about new developments and so on, so it would be great to see you there.
I’ll not give out anyone’s email here, but there’s a sign-up form that should go to the right place at the bottom of this page:
Hi Richard,
We have not published the source code yet as the feature is still in development. We have a lot of other cool features besides this in the works, stay tuned for an update in Winter 2025!
We have not been in touch with them yet, It would be great to get an introduction to them, thanks for that. I have filled out the form.
