NeuronJ

[federica rinaldi]

Hello everybody,
I'm new to ImageJ and i'd like to use the program to analyse neurons
morphology (cell body area) and neurites lenght.
I downloaded the plugin neuronJ but I don't not where to start to use it.
I imagine it's necessary to calibrate your image before starting...
i really need an help and I couldn't get any benefit from the Erik Meijering
web-site.
Please I need some help.
thanks

Best regards

Hi Frederica,

The manual for NeuronJ is available here :
http://www.imagescience.org/meijering/software/neuronj/manual.html

of course you'll have to know the basics of ImageJ first. The following pdf
is a bit outdated but covers the very basic functions:

Hi,

If you are a new user I can recommend to use FIJI program ( I find it much
more friendly and easy to use)...
I also perform morphology analysis and I use the 'simple neurite tracer'
plugin which is simple to use and have a nice documentation.
If you install FIJI, this plugin is found in the segmentation plugins.
Thanks,
Rona

Hi Rona
Thank you very much for your help.
Just last question, Do you also measure the cell body size of neurons?
I'd like to measure it too.
