Fiber diameter revisited

Paxton Provitera
Hi all.
 I am trying to determine fiber diameter from SEM images which have 100-200
fibers of differeing diameters in random orientations.
The perfect final output would be a list of diameters.
I have looked through the available plugins and have not seen anything that
jumps out as a solution, but before I begin writing a plugin I was hoping
someone might have a better suggestion.


Here's a link to a sample image:

Thanks for your help in advance.

Paxton and Folks

Looking at these fibers (electron-spun I assume),
I do not think that you have enough contrast
and separation to automeasure the diameter (sic).

You may want to freeze-fracture to check their
cross-sections for a non-unity aspect ratio.

Also, there has been a similar discussion on
the MSA listserver.  You may want to post your
query there.

regards,

Jim
