Counting Cells with the Transmitted Light Analysis Module in MetaXpress

Label-free cellular assays are required for a multitude of biological applications that monitor the cell number, proliferation, health, confluency, and cytotoxicity. These applications necessitate efficient and robust transmitted light (TL) imaging and analysis capabilities providing precise segmentation for quantitation of cells and assessment in variety of cell responses and morphologies. Additionally, the coupling of high-contrast transmitted light imaging and fluorescent labeling and imaging is essential to numerous cellbased assays.
