Hello
Geometric morphometrics involves analysis of shape changes based upon data
from homologous landmarks (corresponding anatomical points from specimens).
I therefore need to obtain the 3D coordinates of specific parts of the image
in the most efficient manner possible.
I've seen discussion of saving X,Y coordinates in the archive, but I need to
save X,Y,Z coordinates if possible.
I have looked at the program, but I might well be missing something that is
obvious to the experienced user.
I have already used the BLJ plugin for volume/surface rendering of Z-stacks
".lsm" files in 3D. I now need to be able to collect quantitative data from
the file.
Thank You
Chris

>Hello Chris,
Re your posting to ImageJ list, perhaps you should be more explicit
about the type of measurements/data you wish to extract and the type of
data.

Hello
What is the best way to collect 3D landmark data from Z-stacks?
I want to collect data using a Zeiss confocal laser scanning microscope,
which produces ".lsm" files, and perform 3D geometric morphometrics on it.
Please let me know if other software could enhance this process.
