Hi Richard and All, At Formulatrix we haven't yet seen an algorithm that can come even close to what the human brain can do for drop scoring. Crystals come in too many shapes, sizes, plates, and confusing backgrounds making automated detection extraordinarily difficult. Because of this, we

Hi Richard, Do you require visible light only? In any case, i remember a neat paper describing using Hoffman modulation, as well as polarisation and phase contrast. Pure analog computing ;) What stroke me then (and now) is that the standard microscopy kit people use does not use the

Some years ago, I remember hearing about a microscope that used *visible* light combined with some proprietary image processing algorithm to distinguish between protein crystals, salt, and background. I can't remember the company name or researchers involved. Has anyone here heard of this?
