FW: [Histonet] quick and dirty scale bar

[Ian Montgomery]

Caroline,
	    Ask the collaborator if they will take another micrograph of a
scale bar using the same settings. If this is impractical, is there a red
blood corpuscle in the field? The built in scale bar that will give an
approximate figure.
	I was going too rant and rave about x10 and x40 images and how they
bear no relationship to reality but that can keep, the crumpy crabbit auld
man is going for coffee.
Ian.

Subject: [Histonet] quick and dirty scale bar

Hey Guys,

I'm trying to finish up some figures for a paper.  One collaborator  
has given me 10X images that appear to have been taken from a  
standard digital camera.  Can anyone suggest a quick and easy way to  
add a scale bar?  Unfortunately the journal requires it and I just  
don't have it.  I have a scale bar for a 40X picture from a different  
microscope/experiment, any chance that I can use this?  I'm guessing  
it is not as simple as my 40X scale bar being 1/4 of the 10X?

Sorry, but I am clueless about this...  any suggestions would be  
appreciated.

Thanks,

Caroline
