title: Appropriate technology for the quantitative assessment of the final reaction product of histochemical techniques.
abstract: This paper describes instruments for microfluorometry and microspectrophotometry, an interactive graphic tablet linked to a microprocessor for semi-automated morphometry, and systems using rapid scanning stages or television scanning techniques for automated analysis of biological material. Some applications of these techniques in clinical work are described.
