 The Dithertizer and the Digisector accept input from a standard video camera.
 The Micro D-Cam and Micron-Eye use a solid state camera made from a special
 purpose imaging chip. All have software to map the output from the camera to
 the High-Res Screen of the Apple II.

 The Dithertizer uses a feature called contouring.  This makes the processor
 display only those portions of an image which fall in a certain brightness (or
 darkness) range.  With this method you could set the digitizer to display only
 the darkest spots on the screen. Then you could write software to scan the
 digitized image for spots, count them and note their position.

 Micron-Technology (acquired by Xceed Technologies) makes an RS-232 version of
 the Micron-Eye. With the proper software, this could be your digitizer for
 Macintosh, Lisa or Apple III.
