Image Processing
|
|||
| Background flattening to improve image signal to noise | ● | ● | |
| Add user defined image annotations to any image or graph | ● | ● | |
| Record movies of live samples and/or make movies of kinetic image series | ● | ● | |
| Image deconvolution to improve resolution | ● | ● | |
| Optional: AutoROI module***; automatically finds ROIs and begins imaging at a higher resolution | ● | ● | |
| 3D viewer*** allows improved visualization of spheroids and other 3D biologies | ● | ● | ● |
| Digital phase contrast to improve contrast in brightfield images | ● | ● | |
| Cellular Analysis | |||
| Image Statistics (e.g., image total intensity, intensity above/below a threshold) | ● | ● | ● |
| Cell count and confluence on a live sample | ● | ● | ● |
| Cell count and confluence on an acquired image | ● | ● | ● |
| Cellular analysis using a single analysis mask (e.g., object size, shape, area, circularity, intensity) | ● | ● | |
| Analyze subpopulations of cells expressing certain criteria (e.g., size, shape, intensity) | ● | ● | |
| Two analysis masks for advanced measurements (e.g., cytoplasmic signal, signal translocation) | ● | ||
| Advanced cellular analysis optimization tools | ● | ||
| Scatterplots/histograms for visualizing and gating cell level data | ● | ||
| Optional: Spot Counting Module for intracellular objects (e.g., mitochondria, steatosis) | ● |
