Abstract
This paper describes an automated microscope developed for operation in conjunction with the Leyden Television Analysis System. It features automated control of magnification, illumination, movement of scanning stages, and fine focus. These functions are controlled by means of a microcomputer. This enables a flexible design and relieves the supervising computer of simple but time consuming tasks. The combination of an automated microscope and Leyden Television Analysis System provides a powerful tool in quantitative cytological research. The flexible design permits other microscopic functions to be added with relatively little effort.Keywords
