It's always a good idea to start with what was stated first in a thread.
Hence, I just had look at the original image in which--I must admit--I
can't see any parallel lines but more or less aligned parallel
structures (sequences of dots). For me it makes no sense to apply the
Hough transform to such images (for an analysis of the elongation of
these structures) without heavy preprocessing.

In any case, the term "lines" is definitely wrong in the context of the
sample image and to realize this fact may lead to more promising
approaches to solve your task.
