Hi all,

I'm new to this listserv and am not very experience with ImageJ. I need to
measure tons of sediment particles (from my sediment cores) using imageJ to
get the maximum and minimum length (height and width) of each particle.
However, I haven't been able to find the right way to do this with imageJ.
My particles are in random orientation and using the "analyze particle..."
option, I realize that it uses bounding box for each particle which won't
give me the maximum and minimum length of the particle axis but just the
height and width of the bounding box itself.

Any suggestion? Greatly appreciate your help.

Elsie
