I just wanted to say that if you can count particles of things in microscope images, you can probably make great inroads at companies that do drug testing, like Covance or PPD in America. They're paying chemists to circle blobs on paper and count them. I bet they'd even appreciate someone to count their circles!

Thanks for the idea. Getting the app in front of companies that need it is one of our challenges.

The company I work at did a project like this where the goal was counting of different types of bacterial colony forming units (CFUs) that were cultured in Petri dishes [0]. We presented our results at ESANN [1].
