Use of scanning cytophotometric data for the analysis of the distribution of an absorbed substance in cells

Methods of quantitative evaluation of the structure of cytological objects based on the data of scanning microphotometry are described: calculation of histograms (weighed, average, reduced) and coefficients of relief and texture. Besides, the object is presented as a digit field or tones of gray field and a pseudorelief. Particular examples of practice in cytochemistry are given on applying the above characteristics.
