pare a slide as described in 14.1.3. Place
this slide on the stage and adjust until a
clear well formed image appears on the
video monitor. Use of a 50X objective with
C mount video camera coupling has been
found acceptable for most fiber types. Us-
ing correctly calibrated image analysis
software and a digital image capture board
digitally capture the cross-sectional image.
Using a mouse or stylus trace around the
captured cross-sectional images. Use the
image analysis software to store the result-
ant cross-sectional areas. If there are not
sufficient fibers on the slide to provide 100
of each type, prepare another slide as de-
scribed above using another tuft of fibers.
