Hello Simy:
Well size definitely will be the deciding factor first here (I'm doing
laser scanning microscopy) because your choice of vision components
will depend on that, thing like resolution is ultimately determined by
the smallest "particle" you need to see. That also translates to
choosing a camera which can do the job.There could be several
combinations of IMAQ Vision VIs/Image processing algorithms to make
this work maybe some even have to be customized with codes written
Visual C++ or MathLab -- for instance using BLOB (binary large
objects) with combinations of Thresholding and even calculations of
center of gravity and assigning scores to each to chracterize them. If
the particles are on top of each other you have to do a "segmentation"
with combination of erosion,dilate etc. to highlight boarders etc.
It's gonna be a lot in fact something that cannot be gotten from
LabVIEW itself but from other source like books on signal/image
processing. Most of it will be a lot of readings about the subject
matter of course your ideas could tested initially by creatin scripts
from another software package called IMAQ Vision Builder. Good luck!
