[Application of automated image analysis system Allegro-MC for morphometric research]

Automated system of image analysis Allegro-MC is described, including its scheme and concise characteristic. System is used for automated macro- and micromorphometric studies. As the examples for the demonstration of system operation the following micropreparations were used: capillaries of rat uterus, demonstrated by Gomori alkaline phosphatase reaction, cerebral neurons, visualized using NADPH-diaphorase Hope and Vincent method, capillaries as demonstrated by electron microscopy. As a sample of macropreparation, carotid angiogram taken in direct projection, was used. The demonstration is supplemented by vital microscopic study of microvascular reaction in rat small intestinal mesenterium to irradiation with heliumneon laser.
