File Loader

• Imaris 3, Imaris Classic
• Carl Zeiss LSM 310 - 510
• Leica 3D formats
• More formats can be processed by loading files into Imaris first and converting them to the Imaris 3 format


Filtering

• Gaussian filter
• Line filter
• Thresholding using intensity and connectivity



Segmentation

• Automatic neurite tracking using 3D isotropic dilatation
• Conversion of segmented skeleton into graph
• Visual segmentation control by visual overlaying microscopy slice with graph

Graph Operations

• Various functions to select segments
• Delete side branches shorter than specified length
• Automatic measurement of segment length (individual and in total)
• Show/hide branch points
• Insert branch points
• Join segments manually



Measurements

• Measure individual segments
• Measure total length of selected segments
• Measure segments by branch level



Application

• Wizard-style user interface
• Export measurements in tabular format
• Export graph as inventor file, conversion to VRML using SGI tools
• NeuronTracer only runs on Irix.
