Automatic analysis of G-banded human chromosomes by fast scanning microscope photometry. 2. Practical applications. 1987

W J Wall, and L J Butler

The practical applications and improvements to a fast scanning microscope photometer system are described. The production of a density profile is demonstrated which, when taken in conjunction with the chromosome scan, allows more information to be extracted from the data than was previously possible. This enables a more accurate correlation to be made between phenotype and karyotype. The system is demonstrated on preparations of known cytogenetically abnormal individuals, showing the range of problems which can be tackled.

D008853	Microscopy	The use of instrumentation and techniques for visualizing material and details that cannot be seen by the unaided eye. It is usually done by enlarging images, transmitted by light or electron beams, with optical or magnetic lenses that magnify the entire image field. With scanning microscopy, images are generated by collecting output from the specimen in a point-by-point fashion, on a magnified scale, as it is scanned by a narrow beam of light or electrons, a laser, a conductive probe, or a topographical probe.
