Abstract
A series of computer programs have been written for use in a multi‐user resource center for biological microanalysis. They are tied together by a “Main Menu” program which acts as a traffic director and guides the investigator into whatever option is desired. These programs have been written with very clear instructions and interaction points. As a result, a complex handbook of options and responses is not required. Consquently, almost no training is required to use these programs as they are essentially self‐explanatory. Extensive error checking has been included so that most errors are identified and corrections are requested without causing a program halt. Options available to the user provide for selected “region” analyses, elementally quantitative image analysis, and sorting of the resulting data files. A complete computer code printout is included in this report.
