History
Prior to the release of ImageJ in 1997, a similar freeware image analysis program known as NIH Image had been developed for Macintosh computers running pre-Mac OS X operating systems. Further development of this code continues in the form of Image SXM, a variant tailored for physical research of scanning microscope images. A Windows version – ported by Scion Corporation, so called Scion Image for Windows – was also developed. Both versions are still available.
