An optical analog correlation technique was used to detect morphologic abnormalities in rat liver cells. The method employs an optical matched filter for correlating a test pathological specimen with a control specimen. Experimental results show appreciable promise that such an optical correlator can be employed as a tool for rapid mass screening of a variety of pathological specimens.
