Gray Frequency-Based Methodology for Assessing Cell Damage
Cell biology techniques offer a solid foundation for evaluating and forecasting the danger of pollutants in the investigations of environmental toxicology. Studies on ecological toxicity, medication development, and illness diagnosis depend on evaluating cellular damage. The morphology of stimulated cells can alter the light scattering and reflection, and the brightness of microscopic images of the cells. This study demonstrated that stimulation-damaged and normal cells had distinct gray value distributions which led to the proposal of a novel theory to measure cellular damage by image brightness. Second, various cell types were used to confirm the method's applicability. Additionally, an evaluation technique based on gray frequency analysis can be created to determine the extent of cellular damage. This approach provides an effective and helpful tool for cellular damage visualization and quantitative evaluation in environmental toxicity assessment.
