Аннотация:We assessed the suitability of a video system based on a Mikmed-6 optical microscope as a tool for
objective measurement in the Allium test for estimating soil genotoxicity. Digitized microimages of the apical
meristem of common onion (Allium cepa L.) fix the data needed for calculating mitotic and phase indices and
create an objective scheme of mitotic errors and chromosome aberrations.
