Closed surface analysis

Purpose

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.

Procedure

1. Select the structures you want to analyze.

2. Go to Analyze > Vessel data > Closed surface analysis

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.
