Abstract
This is a protocol describing how to create a quantified mask from an image of fluorescence-tagged axonal projections using FIJI/ImageJ software.
Upload TIFF image of single-channel fluorescent axons to Fiji
Adjust brightness/contrast (keyboard shortcut: ctrl + shift + C)
Select Plugins -> Analyze -> Tubeness
Enter 0.5 for the sigma value
Synchronize windows: select Analyze -> Tools -> Synchronize windows
Open thresholding (shortcut: ctrl + shift + T)
Adjust the thresholding value to your needs
Select apply and create mask.
Save created mask as tiff file.
