I did look at that. What I am trying to do is measure individual roots on young  seedlings, where there are anywhere from 10-25 seedlings in on image. The roots are not yet all tangled with each other, so I really want a program that identifies individual roots and measures the length. I can do this manually, of course, on the screen using ImageJ measuring wands,  but my students and I both are getting repetitive strain injury! Both neurite tracing programs measure _all_ the neurites at once, and I want automatic definition
of individual entities.
Thanks for your suggestion; any thoughts on the more closely defined problem above?
Cheers,
josh

Josh,

Did you have a look at the "Simple Neurite Tracer" by Mark Longair?
