Ensuring Scientific Figures Are Accessible to Colorblind Readers

Colorblind: Checking figure accessibility for colour blind people

I share a simple ImageJ script to check how scientific figures appear to people with different types of color blindness. After identifying issues in our recent paper, we redesigned the images by showing separated channels in grayscale. This approach ensures everyone can see individual data channels without needing to distinguish specific color overlays, making our research more inclusive.
