Particle morphomics by high-throughput dynamic image analysis

A novel omics-like method referred to as “particle morphomics” has been proposed in the present study. The dynamic images of >2,000,000 particles per sample in sediments, soils and dusts were collected by a Sympatec GmbH QICPIC particle size and shape analyzer, and the morphological descriptors o...

description A novel omics-like method referred to as “particle morphomics” has been proposed in the present study. The dynamic images of >2,000,000 particles per sample in sediments, soils and dusts were collected by a Sympatec GmbH QICPIC particle size and shape analyzer, and the morphological descriptors of each particle including equivalent diameter, sphericity, aspect ratio and convexity were extracted as the “particle morphome”. Various multivariate analyses were adopted to process the high-throughput data of particle morphome including analyses of alpha and beta diversities, similarity, correlation, network, redundancy, discretion and principal coordinate. The outcome of particle morphomics could estimate the morphological diversity and sketch the profile of morphological structure, which aided to develop a morphological fingerprint for specific particle samples. The distribution and properties of particle assemblages of specific morphology could also be evaluated by selecting particles with respect to filter criteria. More importantly, the particle morphomics may be extended to investigate and explain the biogeochemical and environmental processes involved with particle morphology if linked with external variables.
