Abstract

The relationships between cell kinetics and nuclear transformations related to cell differentiation were investigated in the thymus of the newt by means of image analysis. A SAMBA 200 cell image processor was used to compute 18 densitometric, textural and morphological parameters on Feulgen-stained thymic nuclei from a few days after hatching of larvae (stage 40) to 1 month after metamorphosis (150 days old). During the first step, cell nuclei were automatically identified as lymphoid or epithelial with a 93.4%-98.7% confidence level when compared with the cytological diagnoses. During the second step, four cell classes were recognized in both epithelial and lymphoid cell populations and assumed to correspond toG
