| Abstract: | Apparatus and methods are described for rapid semiautomatic quantification of silver grain densities in brain autoradiographs. The output voltage of a photodiode used with dark-field oil microscopy reflects the amount of label in a 35 by 35 square micra area of brain tissue. Apparatus are described for monitoring the movement of a microscope stage, and a microprocessor interface is described that provides hard-copy and paper-tape output of grain densities for later processing. |
