摘要
The response of magnetotactic bacteria to an applied magnetic field has been analysed using image processing techniques. Bacterial characteristics, including magnetic moment have been processed at a higher rate and evaluated with greater accuracy. This method offers a unique tool in data analysis and enhancement for recorded images of biological systems.
