flat bed scanning/image analysis?

[Wolfgang Schechinger]

Hi Maggie, 

If you don't use a transparence adaptor, the light will have to pass 
twice the film. Interestingly, in my experience, this produced better 
images from xray films than than using the adaptor.

You're using a HP scanner, so I assume you have a PC. There's a free 
PC version of NIH image named Scion Image. 

You should find more infos at:

another maybe interesting imaging application is ImageTool fri=F3m 
Texas University

there's a list of other image analyzing tools.

Enjoy!

Wolfgang
