Hi. I hope I can help a bit. What do you mean by slighly different morphologies?

Do you work with images of them?

If you have images that are easy to segment (aka separate) your organisms from the background you could use fiji/imageJ or Gwyddion to calculate some shape descriptors that may aid.

Looking forward for your answer, to see if I can help a bit. Odin
