Figure Legend Snippet: Quantification of filament numbers and lengths. (A) Flow-chart summarizing image processing and quantification steps. (B) Representative micrograph of filaments polymerized from 2 µM actin monomers, labeled with FITC-phalloidin, diluted into microscopy buffer, and imaged using TIRF microscopy. (C-E) Micrograph shown in B following sequential (C) noise filtering and background subtraction, (D) normalization and image thresholding, and (E) binarization and skeletonization. (F) (Left) Following image processing, overlapping filaments are detected as errors and highlighted in red. (Right) Each misidentified filament is processed individually until all errors are resolved, and all filaments are highlighted in green. (G) Histogram of filament lengths measured for the representative micrograph shown in panel B. The bin size is 3 µm.

Figure Legend Snippet: Kinetic measurements of filament bundling. Filaments were assembled from 2 µM actin monomers, labeled with FITC-phalloidin, and visualized by TIRF microscopy following the addition of 1.4 µM fascin. (A) Time series of micrographs depicting the progress of filament bundling. The same micrographs are also shown in Figure 4 to demonstrate the effects of image segmentation on the resolution of filaments and bundles. (B) Micrograph collected at time=0 s, before bundling has occurred. Following background subtraction, noise filtering, thresholding and skeletonization, the image has been segmented into a grid. The numbers correspond to the threshold fluorescence value (reported in arbitrary units of fluorescence intensity) above which pixels are considered bundled within each segment of the grid. (C) Automated detection of stretches of bundled (yellow) and single (magenta) filaments in each of the micrographs shown in panel A. (D) The fraction of the filamentous actin that is bundled over time for the reaction shown in panel A.
