Opens a window and displays the current results table in it. If the Results window is already open, then it is activated. No more than 32K characters can be displayed in the Results window, but there is no limit to the number of measurements that can be exported to a text file. Use the Export command to save the measurements as a tab delimited text file that can be opened by many Mac programs, including Excel, StatView and KaleidaGraph. Or, as a shortcut, type cmd-S when the Results window is the active. For correct display, it may be necessary to adjust tab settings when opening an exported file with a word processing program such as Microsoft Word. Hold down the option key (or check Headings in Options) when Exporting (or Copying) results to include column and row headers. Use Print (cmd-P) to print the measurements, and Copy (cmd-C) to copy them to the Clipboard.

Press the option key to change the menu item to 'Analyze Results', which calculates (i) the nearest neighbour (nn) distances between the particles found using the Analyze Particles routine, (ii) the standard deviation of the nn distance, (iii) the mean azimuthal direction of the nn (x axis = 0°, y axis = 90°), and (iv) the anisotropy of the particle distribution (random = 0, fully aligned = 1). These values are displayed in the Info window and in the Session Log. Also displays histograms of the particle size (diameter), area and height distributions.
