Abstract
This review surveys some of the current approaches to the characterization of microscopical images using commercially available image analysers. The role of image pre-processing and segmentation is considered, together with the characterization of images by optical density, as well as size and shape. The newer analysers are capable of investigating relationships between grey-levels in small areas of the image ('texture-analysis'); some of the descriptive approaches in this latter field are briefly outlined.Keywords
