ABSTRACT:
Apparatus and methods for in vivo determination of red and white blood cell characteristics from a flow of red and white blood cells in mucous membranes are provided wherein image capturing means are employed to optically isolate images from a flow of blood cells and transmit those images to an image receiving means for encoding into electronic signals. The images are also filtered through light filters and subsequently transmitted to a computer for evaluation and analysis. The results of this analysis are then made available for display either on a CRT or hard copy printer.
