EIN EINFACHES OPTO ELETRONISCHES VERFAHREN ZUR MORPHOMETRIC ELEKTRONENMIKROSKOPISCHER AUFNAHMEN

Morphometric investigations of light or electron microscopic photographs can be both time consuming and tedious when statistical results are to be obtained. Therefore, an opto electrical morphometer was developed to facilitate such investigations. The photograph is placed in between a light source and a grid, and the shape of the object in question is outlined with an electronic pencil. The impulses so produced can be converted into counts which may then be fed into a pocket sized calculator or micro computer for further analyses.
