  • METHODS AND DEVICES FOR LIVE CELL IMAGING ANALYSIS
    Publication number: 20210004563
    Abstract: Provided herein are methods for analysis of target cells on a population or individual basis, including before and after contact with a stimulus in order to determine the effect of such stimulus on the target cells. Also provided are devices for performing such methods. The analysis methods involve identifying and measuring or tracking morphological changes that occur in target cells over a period of time. Tracking is accomplished using imaging systems capable of imaging target cells individually over a period of time either continuously or at discrete intervals of time.
    Type: Application
    Filed: July 20, 2020
    Publication date: January 7, 2021
    Applicants: President and Fellows of Harvard College, Nikon Corporation
