L-Measure is a software used to read neuronal tracings (various formats) and to perform several morphometric analysis.
This tool is extremely useful for a number of reasons:
1) It is free - No need for a dongle : therefore multiple users can use it at the same time
3) Platform independent... and can also be used online (no need to install the application!)
2) Allows comparisons (stats) of multiple neurons (two groups)
3) it can read several formats.
4) Performs searches on large neuromorphology databases
5) EXTREMELY Flexible
6) comes from a famous institute (CNG - Computational Neuroanatomy Group, Krasnow Institute for Advanced Study]
you can find L-Measure here
A Nature protocols paper has been published on 2008 (see paper abstract here)
Have a look at the Neuromorpho.org database (!!!)
