Hi All!

I'm working on analyzing grains from specific micrographs but when I use the "Analyse Particles" function to look at the area, it takes into account the thickness of the grain boundaries in the image and so gives a reduced grain area.

I've tried to use the Minimum/Maximum filters to change the thickness, but if I reduce the thickness of the boundaries too much, the software doesn't pick up the boundaries at all when using the Analyze tool.

I'm currently analyzing hand traced images (using a fine tip marker) but still can't seem to find any other way to reduce the boundary thickness so the software can give the most accurate reading for the grain area.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Thank-you!
