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

Review figure quality in NotyCheck

Check labels, scale bars, resolution, layout consistency, and possible duplicate regions.

3
NotyCheck

Resolve issues and export notes

Document any findings and prepare the revised figure or review summary for the next step.

Common mistakes this workflow helps prevent

Unreadable labels or scale bars

Possible duplicate regions that need review

Low-resolution exports

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

Does this workflow guarantee journal acceptance?

No. It helps review common figure preparation issues and improves figure readiness before export.

Can it detect every manipulation problem?

No. It highlights potential quality and integrity concerns, but researchers still need to review the results carefully.

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.
