Create Figure Grid

Assemble calibrated scientific images into a clean multi-panel figure with consistent labels and export checks.

NotyLibrary -> NotyScale -> NotyGrid -> NotyCheck

Intermediate 5-10 min
Best for I want to turn several microscopy images into one clean multi-panel research figure.
Input Microscopy Image, Research Figure, PNG, JPG, TIFF
Output Checked multi-panel research figure
Estimated time 5-10 min

Before you start

Make sure your image has at least one reliable scale reference. This can be an existing scale bar, a saved calibration, or a known pixel-to-unit ratio. If the image is already calibrated, you can skip calibration setup and continue to Edit or Scale & Export.

  • Microscopy image is ready
  • Calibration reference is available
  • Output format is selected
  • Crop or image cleanup is only used when needed

This short video shows the full path: import the image, select or create calibration, crop or improve the image, add the scale bar, and export the final result.

Workflow Steps

1
NotyLibrary

Collect figure assets in NotyLibrary

Keep source images, versions, and exports organized before layout starts.

2
NotyScale

Confirm each panel scale bar

Make sure each image carries the right calibration and visible scale reference.

3
NotyGrid

Arrange panels into a figure grid

Build the panel layout, spacing, alignment, and labels for the final figure.

4
NotyCheck

Review consistency and export quality

Check panel balance, typography, and final export readiness before sharing.

Common mistakes this workflow helps prevent

Uneven panel spacing

Inconsistent scale bar placement

Labels that feel misaligned or hard to read

Expected output

Before

Raw microscopy image with old scale context, unnecessary borders, or no final scale bar.

After

Clean microscopy image with a calibrated, readable scale bar placed in a safe corner.

Export-ready for

Reports, lab notes, scientific slides, manuscripts, documentation, and tutorials.

Frequently asked questions

Can I mix different magnifications in one figure?

Yes, but each panel should keep its own correct calibration and readable scale bar.

Should I review the figure after layout?

Yes. A final visual check helps catch alignment, label, and export issues before submission.

Ready to calibrate and export your image?

Start with your microscopy image, select calibration, edit only if needed, then add a clean scale bar and export.
