Computer Assisted Scanning Microscopy In Cytology

The design of an appropriate scanning and digitization equipment for an image analysis system involves many important trade-offs between image quality, scanning speed and system complexity. In the field of cytometry and automated cytology several different kinds of scanners have been proposed and constructed by various research groups. In this paper the basic physical and technical factors that limit the achievable scanner performance are examined and some examples of recent scanner designs are discussed.
