Measuring very small corals

[kortalexander]

I work at a land-based coral nursery and I was hoping to use TagLab to help measure the area of juvenile corals (<1 year old) for research purposes. However, it seems like area is reported in units of square centimeters and it only goes to one place past the decimal. For bigger corals this is ok, but for very small ones this results in a measurement of 0.1 or 0.2 cm^2, only a single significant figure. I'm attaching a screenshot of this scenario here, with the area measurements circled.

Is there a way to change the output to square millimeters or otherwise get more precise measurements of areas this small?

@kortalexander when outputting the results to disk, are there still only 1 significant digits? Or is it just the UI that shows 1 significant digits?

Exporting the results fixed the issue, thank you! It shows one additional digit past the decimal point.
