IMAGE-ANALYSIS ENHANCEMENT OF THE LASER-SCANNING CYTOMETER

The laser scanning cytometer offers a range of novel applications and the capacity for direct visual validation of experiments through sampl e analysis on a microscope slide. Linkage of the instrument to an imag e analysis system through standard connections and software enhances t he capabilities of the instrument in image capture and manipulation. I n this technical note, we describe a simple linkage between the LSC an d the Kontron KS100 Image Analysis System, an example of a standard co mmercial image processing instrument.
