Measure Shape descriptors of stacks

GeoBa
This post was updated on .
Hello,

I have the following problem:
I have 500 images and create a stack of these with Images > Stacks > Images to Stack. Now i want to measure the shape descriptors (Sphericity, Aspect ratio, etc.) for the whole stack. But if I try to measure it with Analyze>Analyze Particels (before this I put a check in Analyze>Set Measurements>Shape descriptors), I get the measurements of all particels of all slices. So I think the programm measure only every single slice of the stack and don´t connect the particels over the slices.

Can anyone help me with this problem?

Best regards,
Georg

Good day George,

as far as I know the mentioned measurements are restricted to 2D, i.e.
images not volumes. This functionality is described in the imageJ manual:
<https://imagej.nih.gov/ij/docs/guide/index.html>
(It's always a good idea to read  manuals!)

3D analyses are much more involved but you may find ImageJ plugins that
are made for this purpose. I've never needed 3D shape analyses, therefor
I can't suggest where to look, but I would start searching here
<https://imagej.nih.gov/ij/plugins/index.html>
and there
<http://imagejdocu.tudor.lu/>

Have success

Herbie
