Development of an Automated Microscope for Supporting Qualitative Asbestos Analysis by Dispersion Staining

Year: 2009

Type: article

Abstract: This paper introduces automated microscopic observation supporting qualitative asbestos analysis. Visual qualitative asbestos evaluation generally involves dispersion staining. Operators conventionally check and count asbestos fibers visually by microscope. We are developing automated microscopic observation to support qualitative asbestos analysis. The system images fibers by microscope and saves them automatically to a database. We introduce system concepts and performance using the prototype we developed.
