[Mechanical device for morphological and orientation analysis of biological structures]

A simple mechanical device for different kinds of morphological analysis is suggested. It consists of a binocular microscope, a luminiscent illuminator, a coordination table with a disc-chuck (0-360 degrees) and a nest for disposing the test systems and the light or electronmicroscopic negatives (6 x 9 and 9 x 12). The analysis is performed by means of visual scanning of the negatives, by counting the number of crossings of the structure with the test system knots and by registration of the measurements by a key recorder. For orientation analysis the microscope is supplied with a goniometer (0-360 degrees) and an oculometer with a cross of filaments.
