Hi Everybody,

Can anyone point me in a direction to analyze fiber meshwork structures?
I have z-stack series of collagen fiber meshworks, and I need to
quantify and compare structure differences in varying samples. Basic
differences include spacing and fiber density, branching angles, length,
geometry of open spaces in meshwork, but I would also be interested in
any other structural aspects that may help me identify differences in
these meshworks.

Image J plug-ins was my first target for answers, but I am open to other
platforms as well. If anyone knows of other folks who have done similar
things, I would be interested in references to articles that may contain
information of how they analyzed fiber meshwork structural differences
and what they quantified as well.

The images are quite similar to what you might find in textile meshworks
and paper fiber meshworks as well - any sources in those fields is also
certainly welcome.

Thanks very much!!!

Geoff
