Closed surface analysis

Use this analysis to measure or count structures or portions of structures within a 3D structure generated by adding a skin to closed contours that are aligned in the Z direction).

• Access closed surface analysis for axons and dendrites here:

  Analyze > Neuron data > Anatomical

• Access closed surface analysis for puncta here:

  Analyze > Region data > Punctum

In the example below, an axon enters and exits the 3D structure four times. In the "length" column, you can see the length of each part of the axon that is contained within the 3D structure.
