Computer system for processing of microscopic images

A computer system for acquisition and processing of microscopic images has been presented in this paper. The main element of the presented system is a CCD camera coupled to the two kinds of microscopes: stereoscopic or metallographic and connected to a PC computer by USB.Acquisition and preparation of images for the qualitative and quantitative analysis is the primary objective of the system. The author's software allows for the realization of different types of the context and non-context operations for detection and identification of the selected fragment of images. The implemented algorithms have been oriented for the metallographic analysis.
