Advanced live-cell imaging technologies offer greater opportunities to elucidate the complex mechanisms of cell division, development, differentiation and tissue regeneration within model organisms such as zebrafish. Researchers now have the ability to view these events at a cellular level, in 3D, and in real time, however there are still many challenges that need to be overcome when imaging live samples.
In this workshop, we will demonstrate how confocal Spinning Disk technology, complimented by advanced image analysis software, is helping to address the difficulties associated with imaging live samples, and the often complex and time consuming process of generating reliable, quantifiable and statistically relevant data from fluorescence images.
The session will consist of:
A short introduction to PerkinElmer’s Cellular Imaging & Analysis Portfolio – tools for image capture, data management and image analysis.
A live demonstration of Volocity® – high performance, 3D image analysis software for fluorescence image data.
We are looking forward to seeing you in Edinburgh.
