->Dear Confocalist,
->
->In return for a chunk of someone's slush fund, I glibly assured him that
->it is straightforward to use a confocal scope to study corneal capillaries
->
->(after some form of neovascularization).
->
->Parameters desired include capillary length and volume measurements, and
->possibly some way of describing their 3-D organization (fractal dimension?)
->
->Can this be done with any generic software, or are there software packages
->designed to do these particular tasks?  Mac, PC and Silicon Graphics platforms
->are available here.
->
->Also:  suggestions for the best way to light up the vessels also solicited.
->
->Thanks,
->
->
->Richard Levenson, M.D.

Take a look at http://www.rpms.ac.uk/histochemistry/3d.html
It is a brief description of the quantification of blood vessels
from 3D data sets acquired using a confocal.
