Colored filters for microphotography: a costless 'do-it-yourself' solution.

Black and white microphotography makes use of several colored filters for an increased contrast. These filters are sometimes expensive and do not correspond exactly to the stain to be masked on the negative. Our specific colored filters contain a sufficient and adjusted amount of the dye used in the staining technic in an Agar medium.

[Nucleo-cytoplasm ratio, DNA content of superficial and intermediate vaginal cells during the female genital cycle].

A quantimetric study of vaginal superficial cells is done every day of the sexual cycle on five normal women (no pill) with a cervical smear of type 2 (Papanicolaou classification). Our results show that nucelo-cytoplasmic ratio for 98% of the cells varies between 0.0040 and 0.0210. This level is independant of age and cycle duration and is proposed as reference for later studies of women under pill or with cervico-vaginal dysplasia and cancer.
