=======================================================================
Who is using a MacIntosh computer to digitize electron micrographs ?
=======================================================================

In the lab of the biophysics department we use an Apple II with a
digitizer tablet in order to measure the dimensions of molecules visualized
on electron micrographs with the rotary shadowing technique. (Mainly simple
length measurements of rod-like structures in the streaming aquisition mode).
Data then are processed in the Apple to yield histograms and various other
statistics displayed graphically as well as in tables.
The Apple II shall now be replaced by a MacIntosh II.

Does anyone use this computer for similar purposes as described above? We are
interested in a digitizing tablet and useful software evaluating statistics
of the digitized data as well as storing the digitized data in suitable
format for further processing.
