The ''Neuron Analyzer 2D'' is available since release version 1.1 of MiToBo. [[File:NeuronAnalyzer2D.png|right|link=]]
[[Applications/ScratchAssayAnalysis | Scratch assay analysis]]<br/>
 
'''Name of Plugin/Operator:'''<br/>
NeuronAnalyzer2D (since MiToBo version 1.1)
 
'''Main features:'''<br/>
* Neuron boundary detection based on active contours
* Identification of structural neuron parts, like soma, neurites and growth cones
* Morphology analysis, e.g., neurite length, average neurite width, number of branch and end points, growth cone size and shape roundness, etc.
* Extraction of molecular profiles from fluorescently labeld molecules
* Detection of molecular particles, for example FISH data
 
'''Installation:'''<br/>
 
The R software environment (http://www.r-project.org/) must be installed to use the ''Neuron Analyzer 2D''.<br/>
If R is installed on the system, two environment variables must be set. Perform the following steps on the commandline to set the variables:
 
# export R_HOME="/usr/lib/R" # path to your R installation
# export R_SCRIPTS="/path/to/ImageJ/share/scripts/R" # path to the R scripts, shipped with MiToBo zip file
# libjri.so must be in the LD_LIBRARY_PATH
 
To save these variables permanently, copy the commands above to your local .bashrc file.
 
'''Note:''' The application is currently only available on Linux OS.<br/>
Current version of ''Neuron Analyzer 2D'' uses R version 3.0.2 (2013-09-25) with rJava_0.9-5 (jri_0.5-5)
