Such processing is now commonplace in a number of diverse fields such as <a href="/facts/Medicine/2fnp90Je">medicine</a>, <a href="/facts/Biology/1M1ee3pB">biological</a> <a href="/facts/Research/mo8joeTL">research</a>, <a href="/facts/Cancer_research/w7HvoRug">cancer research</a>, <a href="/facts/Drug_test/lThw7FSl">drug testing</a>, <a href="/facts/Metallurgy/1SANyxX4">metallurgy</a>, etc. A number of manufacturers of microscopes now specifically design in features that allow the microscopes to interface to an image processing system. </p>
