Digitized light microscope images of low contrast histological samples were processed through image enhancement computer techniques. Original digital data and their square root transformations were linearly expanded to produce a wider range of brightness levels in the enhanced images. These treatments resulted in significantly improved images compared to those obtained by direct photomicrography.
