Screen-recorded video showing the procedure in Fiji to obtain individual Z-discs and measure some properties of the isolated discs. First, a thresholded image is made using the automatic threshold tool. Then, individual Z-disc are obtained using the ‘Analyze particles’ tool. The particle size and the circularity options may be adjusted to optimize the procedure.
