There has been a tremendous expansion in the use of video in microscopy in recent years. This is probably not due to the most obvious advantage of video, that of real-time imaging of moving events, but to its use in image analysis systems. The cheapness of PCs and the associated hardware and software to store and manipulate images, coupled with the availability of lowcost CCD cameras has made the analysis of microscope images commonplace. In the article the equipment used and the sorts of analysis which can be performed will be briefly outlined. The standard text on video is that of Inoue; a more recent review is by Weiss et al. while the major video equipment manufacturers will also provide literature and advice on the more up-todate equipment.
