Image enhancement for light microscopy.
Digitized light microscope images of low contrast histological samples were processed through image enhancement computer techniques. Original digital data and their square root transformations were linearly expanded to produce a wider range of brightness levels in the enhanced images. These treatments resulted in significantly improved images compared to those obtained by direct photomicrography.
