− | <p>The purpose of microscopy is to extract some useful information about the specimen: screen for a particular phenotype, examine fluorescence, measure sizes, count cells, recognize distinctive features, eg. nuclei. Focusing on a specimen is just a small part of the art of microscopy. The actual scientific challenge is to interpret the image. Imagine a program that does this for you. This is what we had in mind when creating MicroMaps. To achieve this, we had to implement different types of image processing algorithms. Image recognition is still work in progress, but we believe that we have laid out the framework for a new, smarter, approach to digital microscopy.</p> | + | <p>The purpose of microscopy is to extract some useful information about the specimen: screen for a particular phenotype, examine fluorescence, measure sizes, count cells, recognize distinctive features, eg. nuclei.
