How to measure a distance in an image?
Measuring distances can be done with the Twin Slicer, available in the Huygens Essential and Huygens Professional at all times both in freeware and licensed versions. Next to that the option Object Analyzer enables a full suite of vertasile analysis tools both for the whole image or parts and objects of it.
Select an image and open the Twin Slicer by either right-click on the image and select View > Twin Slicer or by the menu Visualization > Twin Slicer. In Huygens Essential there is an additional button to open the Twin Slicer in the main window.
When the Twin Slicer is opened, the image is shown in the left viewer. When you simply click on the image and then drag to another point a line a is drawn between the two point with a distance printed next to it. In the right viewer a line plot is automatically visualized, which shows the intensity values where the line goes through. A line is deleted by pressing Delete on your keyboard.
You can select any view of the image by selecting a slice direction and by changing the tilt and twist, which makes it possible to measure distances is all directions.
