TrakEM2-AreaList results

Dear all,

In a recent project I have labelled cell bodies using TrakEM2 and now I would like to measure the diameter of these.
So far my  approach was, that I would have selected the label of interest in the Project Objects window and select "Measure".
This would than open two new windows of which one is called "AreaList results" . One of the results here is a "max diameter" and I am very tempted to use this value.

However, I would need to have the measurement in µm and I guess that the Area List result is in pixel. Does anyone know how I can convert the result to µm?
If I right-click on the original image stack in TrakEM2 it tells me that the height and the width of a pixel are  0.51 (µm???) and that the depth of the voxel is 0.99 (µm??). Would it now be enough to multiple the "max diameter" with 0.51 or would I also need to consider the voxel depth?

All the best and thank you very much for your help already,

Alexander
