Hello experts,

Can you kindly help me to understand the term "Integrated Density". I read
the documentation of ImageJ which says that this is the sum of all the
pixels or equals to the product of Area and Mean Gray Value. But it is very
confusing for me. How we will interpret this? What is the difference between
density and integrated density in this regard? Is this term "integrated
density" is same as "density"? My aim is to compare the different media
giving different forms of fungi according to the density of the pellets
found in each medium and also if this is possible then I want to classify
the pellets in a medium according to the density i.e., I want to classify
pellets as less dense, average dense and dense.
Any help will be highly appreciated.
