title: [SAMBA : a cytophotometer coupled to a computer for the purpose of the automatic study of cell kinetics and the recognition of cell types].
abstract: The system SAMBA has been designed for automatic analysis of biological images, at the cellular or subcellular level. The examination is performed at the maximum resolution power of the microscope. It enables to discriminate by means of a pool of morphological and densitometrical parameters, between cells in the different phases of the cell cycle, or between cells belonging to various types in heterogeneous populations. Other recognition programs are at present beeing in progress, in order to promote the use of SAMBA in other fields of fundamental research and clinical application. Owing to the minicomputer now in use, SAMBA is an autonomous system, capable of beeing routinely used in diagnostic centers.
