The formula for circularity is 4pi(area/perimeter^2). Particles with circularity values outside the range specified in theĬircularity field are also ignored. ![]() Enter a single value in Size and particles smaller than that valueĪre ignored. Use the dialog box to configure the particle analyzer. Use Image>Adjust>Threshold to threshold an image. Resumes scanning until it reaches the end of the image or selection. The wand tool, measures it using the Measure command, fills it to make it invisible, then The image or selection until it finds the edge of an object. This command counts and measures objects in binary or thresholded images. The width of the columns in the "Results" window can be adjusted by clicking on and dragging the vertical ![]() Measurements by right-clicking in the Results window and selecting The clipboard by selecting Edit>Copy All from the "Results" window menu bar. To export the measurements as a tab-delimited text file, select File>Save As>Measurementsįrom the ImageJ menu bar or File>Save As from the "Results" window menu bar. are calculated from the values of the pixels along the line. Standard deviation, mode, min, max and bounding rectangle (v1.34l or later). With line selections, the following parameters can be recorded: length, angle (straight lines only), mean, The weighting factors can be changed using Used to convert to from RGB to YUV, the color encoding The default weighting factors are the ones RGB pixels are converted toįormula V=(R+G+B)/3, or V=0.299R+0.587G+0.114B if "Weighted RGB Conversions" isĬhecked in Edit>Option>Conversions. With RGB images, results are calculated using brightness values. Use the Analyze>Set Measurements command to specify what area statistics are recorded. RecordsĬoordinates if one or more points have been defined using the point selection tool. Calculates line lengthĪnd angle if a line selection has been created using one of the three line selection tools. Has been selected using one of the first four tools in the tool bar. Clicking “Create animaton” slows down the process further.Home | contents | previous | next Analyze Menuīased on the selection type, calculates and displays either area statistics, line lengths and angles,Īrea statistics are calculated if there is no selection or if a subregion of the image ![]() The analysis will take very long if the Max value is 255 and over. If too many or not enough particles were counted, adjust the Max value and/or radius. Tick “Show progression messages” and press “Start Watershed”. Select “Overlaid dams” from the bottom menu: This accounts for the fact that ellipsoid shapes which will be counted can be touching but will still be included in the analysis (a function which the regular particle counter plugin in ImageJ is lacking): Select “ 8-connected” particles for the analysis. If too many cells/particles are counted, reduce the max down to 175. If the staining is faint and not enough cells are picked out, in particular for the hypertrophic zone, increase max to 210-220. 0 to 200 is a good setting for the general DAPI staining. Min/max level indicates the intensity of greyness which is still recognised as a particle. ![]() It works well at 0.5 for the resting and proliferative zones and 1.0 for the hypertrophic zone (larger cells). Radius indicates the predicted radius of the particles to be measured. There are certain parameters which need to be set before the analysis: To quantify DAPI positive cells open the file and select the zone of interest:Ĭlear the outline leaving only the zone of interest:įor DAPI and other fluorescence images, invert the colours:Īdjust brightness and contrast (clicking “Auto” and then “Apply” is often enough): Make sure java is up to date on the computer as this is a java applet. Watershed algorithm can be used both in ImageJ or Fiji. Images should be taken at the right magnification, allowing identification of individual cells in each zone of the growth plate. ![]()
