(A) Diagrammatic view of the change in light intensity surrounding motile cilia constructed using the Volume Viewer plugin for ImageJ. (B) Rhythmic changes in light intensity are extracted as pixel intensity over time/frame, which is the raw data used to obtain cilia beat frequency. (C) Flow chart of the ciliaFA and conventional methods used to calculate ciliary beat frequency (CBF) from digital video files.
