Image analysis, role

Image analysis is an important aspect of many areas of science and engineering, and imaging will play an important role in characterizing self-assembled structures as well as in on-line process control. Development of effective noise identification and suppression, contrast enhancements, visualization, pattern recognition, and correlation algorithms should be co-opted where possible and adapted to the analysis of self-assembled structures.

Washington (1992) has discussed the concepts and techniques of particle size analysis and its role in pharmaceutical sciences and other industries. There are many different methods available for particle size analysis. The techniques most readily available include sieving, optical microscopy in conjunction with image analysis, electron microscopy, the Coulter Counter and laser diffractometers. Size characterization is simple for spherical particles, but not for irregular particles where the assigned size will depend on the method of characterization used. Table 6.2 lists particle size measurement methods commonly used and the corresponding approximate useful size range (Mullin 1993). 

DNA structures in a conformation-specific rather than sequence-specific manner (Copenhaver etal., 1994). For this reason, it has been proposed that UBF plays an architectural role at the ribosomal DNA promoter. In agreement with this model, electron microscopic imaging analysis indicated that DNA is wrapped around a UBF dimer in a structure reminiscent of the nucleosome (Bazettjones et al., 1994). Therefore, UBF may function as a scaffold protein, which, by establishing the proper DNA-protein structure, facilitates the formation of the transcription initiation complex at the ribosomal DNA promoter. This model also predicts that the UCE and core elements will cooperate with each other in the recruitment of UBF. Indeed, changes in the spacing between the UCE and core have profound consequences on the ability of UBF to stimulate RNA Pol I transcription. 

Although microscopy and imaging are used in a number of the above disciplines, a separate chapter is devoted to the use of optical and electron imaging techniques and image analysis, which play an increasingly important role in contaminant analysis and dmg-excipient distribution.
