title: Semiautomatic method for histomorphometry.
abstract: A semiautomatic measurement system for histomorphometry is presented. The system is based on a steppermotor-driven scanning stage which the operator controls via a digitizer. Movement in the scanning stage is carried out with respect to stationary cross-wires in the ocular of the microscopy. The system is connected to a PC-AT computer which utilizes the x- and y-coordinates of these movements for the calculation of the morphometric measurements. In addition, the system is supplemented by software for storage and analysis of measurement data.
