ABSTRACT:
A method and an apparatus for analyzing particles in a fluid sample is accomplished by distributing the sample over an extended area. A plurality of optical still images is taken of the sample, with each image representing a different portion of the area. Each optical image is converted into an electronic image, with the images of the particles in the electronic images. Each electronic image is classified into one of a plurality of classifications of visually discernible characteristics. For each classification, the percentage of the total number of particles classified is determined. The images of the particles are extracted from the electronic images. The images of the particles are displayed in an ordered array by the classification with the number of particles within each classification so displayed being proportional to the percentage determined of the total number of particles displayed.
