Abstract
A different way of processing confocally scanned fluorescence images is presented. Linear median hybrid methods and linear filtering methods are compared numerically with a conventionally processed artificial data set and with real confocal data. The use of linear median hybrid techniques reduces the time required for recording three-dimensional data sets with a confocal fluorescence microscope as well as the photo-damage to the biological sample. The implementation of a linear median algorithm on the hardware level of a confocal microscope is discussed. © 1991 Springer-Verlag New York Inc.
