GenEx Software library for object detection in genetical analysis evaluation: User manual
Schier, Jan ; Kovář, Bohumil ; Kuneš, Michal
This technical report contains user manual for the GenEx library for evaluation of FISH microscopy images. The purpose of the library is to find and filter objects in images from fluorescence microscope and to detect fluorescence signals contained in these objects. The library has been designed to be used for diagnostics of the Turner syndrome chromosome aneuploidies in chromosome X, in other words, to find the (roughly round) interphase nuclei and to count the associated hybridization signals. It is characterized by the following features: - separate processing channels for DAPI and for the fluorescence signals. - no restrictions on the number of the signal channels - output in the form of a CSV-file.

Detection of microorganisms in the soil using CARD-FISH (Catalyzed Reporter Deposition - Fluorescence in situ hybridization)
Krištůfek, Václav ; Kasalický, Vojtěch ; Chroňáková, Alica ; Elhottová, Dana ; Němec, Jan
CARD-FISH protocol (Catalyzed Reporter Deposition - Fluorescence in situ Hybridization) for detection of soil microbial community composition was successfully established in the Institute of Soil Biology. CARD-FISH is the relatively new molecular biology tool permitting to quantify distinct groups of microorganisms by hybridization of specific oligonucleotide probes. Compared to classic FISH-protocol the probe-attached enzyme amplifies the fluorescent signal and enables to detect nearly all microorganisms in soil or in organic compounds. As the first, we used this method to determine the bacterial community composition of a dated layer of guano-heap from Domica Cave (Slovak Carst National Park, Slovakia). We quantified the percentuel composition of Archaea, Eubacteria (.i.Planktomycetales, Verrucomicrobiales./i. included) and major bacterial groups (Actinobacteria, proteobacteria, .i.Cytophaga-Flavobacter./i.-Bacteroidetes, Sphingobacteria).

Measurement of coke porosity by image analysis methods
Ščučka, Jiří ; Kožušníková, Alena
An effective method for visualization and quantitative analysis of coke porosity is presented in the paper. The method is based on image processing and analysis combined with fluorescence microscopy of impregnated coloured preparations and enables the determination of percentage portion of pores in the coke, mean pore-size, mean cell-wall thickness and their distribution.
