TTorg (Transverse tubular system regularity analysis)
Introduction
The TTorg plugin uses microscopy images (usually opened with the Bio-formats plugin) to analyze the organization level and the regularity of the transverse tubular system in muscle cells.
This is an automated analysis, the TTorg interface uses a minimum set of options to reduce human intervention.
