Re: Root

Padro, are all the images done? Can you still take more? The measurements you 
are after such as volume could be done with images taken axially - slice after 
slice then added up. As far as plugins your best bet could be to spend some 
time exploring the plugin list at: http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/plugins/  --- Mike

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
