Hello,

My name is Adrian Randall and I work in an Electron
Microscopy lab. I am trying to determine the lengths of
molecules from images using MATLAB. I have just finished a
semester of MATLAB, so I'm very familiar with the program. I
need help coming up with an algorithm for such a program.
Does anyone have any experience with image analysis that
could give me a hand? 

Here is a link to what an electron micrograph looks like:

Thank you in advance for any suggestions!
