Ladies and Gentlemen:
We were previously principal accountants for Applied Imaging Corp. and, under
the date of February 5, 1999, we reported on the consolidated financial
statements of Applied Imaging Corp. and subsidiaries as of and for the years
ended December 31, 1998 and 1997. On April 9, 1999, we were informed that our
appointment as principal accountants was terminated. We have read Applied
Imaging Corp.'s statements included under Item 4 of its Form 8-K dated April 13,
1999, and we agree with such statements, except that we are not in a position to
agree or disagree with Applied Imaging Corp.'s statements included in the first
paragraph under Item 4.
Very truly yours,
/S/ KPMG LLP
