Automated Counting of Airborne Asbestos Fibers by a High-Throughput Microscopy (HTM) Method

Automated Counting of Airborne Asbestos Fibers by a High-Throughput Microscopy (HTM) Method

Inhalation of airborne asbestos causes serious health problems such as lung cancer and malignant mesothelioma. The phase-contrast microscopy (PCM) method has been widely used for estimating airborne asbestos concentrations because it does not require complicated processes or high-priced equipment. H...
