Hi all,

I'm looking at some endothelial cells which are meant to be hexagonal and tightly packed in nature. With stress and/or trauma, these cells exhbit polymorphism - they turn into polygons of varying types. My aim is to determine how many cells have lost their hexagon shapes in order to infere the severity of the insult. I've attached two samples. The first is simply the cellls. The second has a yellow box to highlight a Hexagon whilst the red box highlights a cell that has undergone transformation into a a different polygon (pentagon - in this instance).

Endo cell sample

Any help is appreciated!

NB I have looked at Gary Chinga's shape descriptor plugin and its not what I'm looking for =)
