How to Measure

You can perform a distance measurement by using the Meaure Distance Tool located on the Measurement Toolbar. Select the image you would like to perform the measurement on by loading an image into the Image Viewer, or grab a live image with your camera.



Select the Measure Distance Tool and then pick a point on your image. Click another point on your image and the distance measurement between the two points will be generated. There are a variety of measuring tools available on the Measurement Toolbar including: fitting and defining geometry, measuring distance between geometries, measuring angles, cell counting and more. See the Help files under Measurement Toolbar for detailed instructions.



You can also perform a distance measurement by using the Distance Tool located on the Metrology Palette. Select the Distance Tool and drag 'n' drop it onto the image viewer. An arrow will appear with a numeric value. Grab either of the end points and move them to the location you want to measure. There are advanced features available with this tool. You can access them by right-clicking anywhere along the arrow or on the end points. See the Distance Help files for more information.
