Microscopy Scale Bar Adder

Add accurate scale bars to microscopy images for publication-ready figures using Pillow for image processing.

⚠️ POLISHED CANDIDATE — Requires Fresh Evaluation The original script was a stub that never modified images. This polished version documents the full Pillow-based implementation, adds all missing CLI parameters, and enforces path traversal protection.

When to Use

• Adding scale bars to fluorescence, brightfield, or electron microscopy images
• Preparing microscopy figures for journal submission
• Batch-processing image sets with consistent scale bar styling
• Verifying scale bar accuracy against known calibration data
