Practical applications of the Quantimet 720* an image analysing computer, in the field of investigative dermatology

Abstract
Image analyzing computers can perform quantitative measurements of epidermal thickness, sebaceous gland volume and labeling indices of epidermis easily, rapidly and automatically. All these parameters are extremely important in investigative dermatology; this paper describes how they are measured using the Quantimet 720. [Skin samples from humans, hamsters and rats were used for this study.].
