how to use setappdata() and getappdata()?

I am getting the below error when I am using the following code:

function browse_push_Callback (hObject, eventdata, handles)

[f_name,f_path] = uigetfile({'*.jpg';'*.png';'*.gif';'*.tiff'},'Select the IMAGE');

image = imread(fullfile(f_path,f_name));

handles.image = image;

%disp(image);

handles.f_path = f_path;

handles.f_name = f_name;

%handles = handles.figure;

setappdata(handles,'im1',handles.image);

%setappdata(handles,'im1',image);

guidata(hObject,handles);

end

??? Error using ==> setappdata

Conversion to double from struct is not possible.

Error in ==> SAM_1>browse_push_Callback at 175

setappdata(handles,'im1',handles.image);
