Neurological mapping using an electron microscope/microprocessor data acquisition system.
Quantitative electron microscopy is used widely in many neurobiological laboratories but can be greatly enhanced by the computer storage, display and analysis of features or boundaries observed under the microscope. An interactive system is described, in which a microprocessor and microcomputer combination controls the data acquisition and display; more detailed analysis can be carried out on a mainframe computer. The performance of this system is examined and it is shown to be a cheap and effective solution, capable of expansion in many directions.
