Hi,

In the system I work with, there are round cells, some cells with small
branches and others which are highly branched.
I want to express a quantitative differences between these morphologies.
I thought that the relationship between the volume to the surface area of
each object would give me this measure. (The more elaborate the object, the
 smaller the ratio).
Do you think  this calculation is right? or I need to count and measure the
length of the branches?

Thanks,
Rona
