Microfilament analyzer

On this webpage you can download the latest versions of the MFA program. MFA stands for MicroFilament Analyzer and is written by Jan Buytaert(BIMEF - UAntwerp), partially aided by Yves Fierens. The program is developed as requested by Eveline Jacques (PGO - UAntwerp). Its purpose is to allow the quantified analysis of microtubules or actin microfilaments. More specifically, we use it to study the cytoskeletal organisation of transgenic GFP leaves and root cells of Arabidopsis thaliana. The program might however be useful in broader fields as well.
