Incorporation of Cytation™ Cell Imaging Multi-Mode Readers and Gen5™ Data Analysis Software to Create Deconvoluted, Stacked Images of 3D Cellular Structures
7 Nov 2014Three-dimensional (3D) cellular models have the potential to become a fundamental research tool in cell biology and histology slides containing tissue samples mounted onto microscope slides, continue to be an important research and diagnostic method in the clinic and laboratory. These multi-dimensional cell structures present complications for optical microscopy due to their thickness in the z-axis. This application note presents a method to capture and project multiple single z-plane images using digital widefield microscopy.

Cell / Tissue CultureCell culture or tissue culture is used to study the biology of cells or tissues and to isolate cellular products in an environment which can be manipulated and well defined. Accurately control your culture environment with bioreactors or culture incubators, bind your cells to a surface or together with an extracellular matrix. Distinguish cell types with differential media or proliferate cells with certain characteristics using selective media. Enrich your media with supplements such as growth factors, sera and vitamins.

Lab equipment for light microscopy includes confocal microscopes, fluorescence microscopes, zoom and stereo microscopes. Microscope slides and imaging reagents are available for visualizing samples, as well as various microscope stages and incubators for large or temperature-sensitive samples.
