Abstract
V/SCAN™ is a computerized video scanning instrument incorporating new concepts in the analysis of microscopic images, having applications to the detailed analysis and construction of chromosome karyotypes. Its primary use is for research applications in the areas of automating hybrid cell karyotyping where 150 or more chromosomes may appear, of automating prometaphase banding pattern analysis where complex banding patterns occur, and of automating fluorescence stains of chromosomal probes which appear on interphase cells. The instrument also includes the capability of very high-speed locating of chromosome spreads and other objects, and of large-scale image archiving and retrieval.
