measure the "shortest path" ?

Jan Frank Richter
Dear all,
I´m trying to measure the distance of immunogold-labelled proteins in
cell using electron microscopy images. The experimental pertubation
should affect the distance of the particles from the cell membrane.
questions:
1.) is there something like a "leat-cost-routing " that automatically
(or semi-automatically) finds the shortest path e.g. from the particle
to the membrane ?
2.) could the membrane be "marked" as the reference to which the
shortest path should be generated (the membrane would be represented by
a line then) ?

many thanks in advance !!
best regards
JFR

Hi, if you have already a binary image of the cell and of the gold  
particles, the distance transform of the first (Process->Binary-
 >Distance Map) redirected for measurement (Analyse->Set Measurement,  
Analyse->Analyse Particle) with Integrated Density deviced by Area or  
better Mean Gray Value delivers you per particle the shortest distance  
to the cell border in pixels.
