Banded cell analysis

Sam Shepherd
Dear All,

I am trying to analyze mitochondrial content using images obtained through immunofluorescence.  As well as the mitochondria image, I also have a cell border image.

Using ImageJ, is it firstly possible to analyze mitochondrial content in each individual cell (approximately 12 cells per image).

Secondly, I am interested in analyzing mitochondrial content close to the plasma membrane along a continuum towards the centre of the cell.  Therefore, I would hope to gain data showing greater mitochondrial content in subsarcolemmal regions compared to the middle of the cell.  Is there a plugin which would enable me to achieve this?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers,

Sam
