Our priority: Robust
quantitative analysis
Fluorescence microscopy coupled with myriad fluorescent probes provides cell biologists with a comprehensive toolbox to help visualize cellular dynamics in either fixed or live cell experiments. Yet the real power of the toolbox is only enabled when robust quantitative analysis is applied to the images acquired. BioTek understands this and has developed a suite of quantitative image analysis protocols for use with its Cytation platform. An example of this quantitative microscopy capability is a spot counting feature that allows the determination of number and size of autophagosomes in each of the cells in the field of view.
