Abstract
Fiji is a distribution of the popular open-source software 
ImageJ focused on biological-image analysis. Fiji uses modern 
software engineering practices to combine powerful software 
libraries with a broad range of scripting languages to enable 
rapid prototyping of image-processing algorithms. Fiji facilitates 
the transformation of new algorithms into ImageJ plugins that can 
be shared with end users through an integrated update system. 
We propose Fiji as a platform for productive collaboration between 
computer science and biology research communities.
