[Histonet] Fwd: Histonet Digest, Vol 127, Issue 25 - Control slides

There is new technology available now for standardizing color images
so, especially if you are taking images of control slides of stained
sections, consider using it. On the acquisition side, it
standardizes the system and camera response using a calibration slide
with a matrix of known colors. The software also auto adjusts
brightness and white balance, resulting in highly consistent,
reproducible results. On the display side, the kit has an easy to
use colorimeter which provides empirical calibration of the monitor
(not just an electronic look up table). Called ChromaCal
(chromacal.com), it will be on display this next week at Soc. for Tox
Path (STP, Washington DC).
Hope this is helpful,
Barbara Foster
