The quantitation of electron dense labelling is very tedious when it is done 'by hand'. Accordingly we developed software allowing, at electron microscopic level, a semi-automatic counting of dense markers in biological specimens. It includes the digitization of images and extraction of dense particles from the grey level of the background. The definition of the areas of interest was carried out by the observer but all quantitative calculations were done automatically. This method was applied to different biological materials (phospholipid and lysozyme labelling in secretory granules of human submucosal bronchial gland cells). The results obtained by this semi-automatic procedure were in good agreement with those obtained by manual counting of colloïdal gold labelling ( r=0.97). [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
