Topographical pits volume

Dear All,

We have one user working on dentine slice with osteoclasts and interested in the resorption pits volume on the surface.

We used reflection mode to generate 3D images for the dentine slice on our LSM 510 Meta confocal system and showed the topographical profiles and depth coding map in Fiji by using 3D shape and SurfCharJ plugin.

Could you kindly suggest Fiji plugin to calculate the pits volume? Or any other software is able to do this job?

Thank you for your advice and help in advance.
Kind regards,

TONG Yan (Ms)

Hi all,

I would be interested in this reply too.  I have a client working with cuticle
elevation and volume, as well as trichome volume and length from 3D stacks.

THank you all!

The volume of holes can be obtained from a stack thresholded to show the voids.
 then the Z projected sum (ImageJ) gives the thickness in Z. The sum of the thickness for each void is its volume, which you can get from analyse particles in ImageJ
You also need to know where the voids starts in Z - perhaps the trickiest part, and remove areas outside the void from the analysis.

I created a PDF that shows the steps with Fiji/ImageJ:
http://microscopy.tamu.edu/lab-protocols/Measuringpitvolume.pdf

In summary (without pictures):
1. generate TOPO projection with TopoJ plugin. Use the Quadratic
Refinement option for more precise result.  The result is a 32-bit file where
pixel value corresponds to surface height (in the calibrated units, e.g,
micrometers)
 
2. Crop the image as needed to remove processing artifacts on the edges
of the image
3. display the interactive 3D surface plot to check if there are any outliers
(hot or black pixels). If  necessary, remove the outliers (process-Noise-
Remove Outliers)
 
4. Level the TOPO image (Plugins-TopoJ-Level)
5. Threshold the image to highlight the flat surface. Measure the mean
pixel value of the surface (make sure the Analyze- Set Measurements-Limit
to Threshold is set and that you have sufficient number of decimal places
for the result) , subtract this value from the image (Process-Math-
Subtract).  The flat surface now have pixel values close to zero.
 
6. Threshold the resulting image to highlight the pits.  
 
7. Analyze-Set Measurements – make sure to check the Integrated
Density. Then  Process-Analyze Objects  (EXCLUDE ON EDGES, INCLUDE
HOLES, SHOW OUTLINE).  The IntDen corresponds to the well volume.

In this case, measuring an AFM test target with ~1.4 micron square wells
~1 micron deep, the volume is about two cubic micrometers each well.
 
Results:(in micrometers)

Dear All,
Thanks all for your response and suggestions, James, Michael and Jeremy. Especially the protocol from Stan, following which we get the successful calculation of the pits volume for our preliminary samples.
Best regards,
Iris
