Editorial Reviews

Professionals in the biological sciences and in the various fields that deal with imaging technology explain techniques and applications of analyzing images for biologists and medical practitioners. Developments have been so rapid that the 1992 was not simply revised, but substantially rewritten, with new chapters covering images on the Internet and image restoration in two-dimensional microscopy. Other topics include measuring area and volume automatically from digital biomedical images, digital filters, single-photon imaging, biochemistry, digital light microscopy techniques for studying living cytoplasm, the computer-aided three- dimensional reconstruction from serial section images, tracking the movement of microorganisms in real-time, and using image analysis in ecotoxicology.
