Fiber Isolation

Histogram of Boundary Length Distribution
This allows isolating numerous nanoparticles and nanofibers from observation data and calculating their diameter, boundary length, or other characteristic quantities. Fiber length is calculated as half the boundary length. Because it can statistically determine characteristic quantities for numerous samples, it can also be used for shape-based quality control applications.
