In the rapidly expanding fields of cellular and molecular biology, fluorescence illumination and observation is becoming one of the techniques of choice to study the localization and dynamics of proteins, organelles and other cellular compartments as well as a tracer of intracellular protein trafficking. With this arises the problem of the automatic mass analysis of image information. Image-interpretation systems which generate automatically the desired target statements from the images are important. The continuation of mass image analyses on the basis of the classical procedures leads to investments of proportions that are not feasible. New procedures are therefore required. We will present, new intelligent and automatic image analysis and interpretation procedure, based on our flexible image analysis and interpretation system cell interpret. We will demonstrate it in the application of HEp-2 cell pattern analysis.
