MCcalc - Detection of contacts between organelles in 2D images
This plugin is designed to detect contacts (areas where two objects are closer than a predefined threshold to each other) between the materials (organelles). In addition, the plugin calculates the distance distribution between the two material and offers possibility to export results in Matlab or Excel formats or as graphical snapshots.
This plugin was originally designed for contact detection for images taken with transmission electron microscopy (TEM) but in practice can work with any kind of light or electron microscopy datasets.

For calculation of the normal vectors the plugin is using LineNormals2D function from 2D Line Curvature and Normals package, written by Dirk-Jan Kroon, University of Twente / Focal Machine Vision en Optical Systems 2011 <https://se.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/32696-2d-line-curvature-and-normals>
