There are various image-analysis systems that are purported to be able to automate such a procedure, and we are considering purchasing such a system. We would very much like to hear from anyone with experience in counting worms with digital image-analysis systems, especially those of you with recommendations (positive or negative). Thanks very much, -Charlie Baer ******************************************************* Charles F.
