Thanks Mike.
I tried to use imageJ on a simulated root system, but from the
parameters I need to study, root area, volume, total length,
diameter, I only found area! There is any "automatically" way to get
this information (plug-in or something). There is another variable on
the study of roots very useful, root length by diameter class, does
anyone tried to do something similar? The study of roots is very
similar to the study of other mathematical trees, like rivers, so
maybe there is someone that knows how to do it. Sorry about this, but
I am doing my PhD in roots, we usually use WinRhizo software for this
kind of studies, but I am a Mac user and there is no application to
do it on Mac Os X.
Thanks
Pedro

Pedro, ImageJ is useful in analyzing virtually any image -- the key
word is image. If you have the information about the root system
in image form then you can apply ImageJ's tools to quantify it --
at least in a comparative way. --- Mike

Dear all,
Do you know if I can use ImageJ to analyse plant root systems
morphology (Area, volume and diameter).
Thanks
Pedro
