' Synopsis:  This program show the usage of image processing. Under MIL lite, 
'            it binarizes the image of a tissue sample to show dark particles.
'            Under MIL full, it also uses different image processing primitives 
'            to determine the number of cell nuclei that are larger than a 
'            certain size and show them in pseudo-color.
