Cell Biology

 

In many instances, cell counting is very straight forward and is an easily accomplished task when the cells are well labeled. In other cases, cells may have a wide range of intensities making it difficult to properly segment cells or other fluorescently labeled markers. Instead of spending time developing sophisticated image processing protocols, we use machine learning based Smart Segmentation to quickly and accurately define and measure the cells.

 

The analysis of Scratch Assays is supported directly within Image-Pro by using the optional Wound Healing protocol to measure time-lapse data. Follow the simple step-by-step workflow, time-lapse data for a single well or multiple wells may be efficiently analyzed and reported. Images with the scratch overlay may also be saved for documentation of the analysis.

 

 

Movement of cells, nematodes, or water fleas can easily be tracked and displayed using Motion Tracking. Due to multiple possible directions, velocity and acceleration of the cells or organisms motion tracking experiment may be difficult to analyze. Using the built in Learning Wizard, the image analysis tracking parameters can be quickly determined by taking the guess work out to the experimental set up.

 

Image-Pro 3D Colocalization provides a full suite of analytical parameters and coefficients to measure colocalization. When required, a Volume of Interest (VOI) can be used to restrict the area where the colocalization will be measured within the volume. Colocalization analysis on a per cell basis may also be measured if the correct markers are included as one of the fluorescent channels.

Oncology

The investigation of new drugs and their related angiogenesis properties may be evaluated using workflows developed within Image-Pro.

The workflows may then be employed to quickly view an individual angiogenesis image analysis or to batch process multiple images from an experiment.

Neuroscience

The optional 3D Module allows you to greatly expand the capability of Image-Pro by adding 3D volume rendering and analysis capability. Simply load your multichannel z-stack image file and create the 3D volumes of cells. The 3D cell culture can then be analyzed using a range of measurement parameters. This module helps in 3D cell culture analysis and Neuroscience image processing.

Once the cells have been rendered, a full movie making suite is included within the 3D module to create exceptional movies using key frame animations.

Entomology

The scientific study of insects provides a challenge when imaging insect structure in detail. By adding the Capture Module and Live Extended Depth of Field capabilities to your Image-Pro configuration, you can capture detailed, in-focus images successfully and efficiently.

When capturing large, out of depth of field images, Image-Pro offers the additional benefit of not requiring a motorized z-stepper.

Plant Biology

Plant disease using image processing and its’ study, are important in both agriculture and forestry. Disease areas can be readily analyzed using Smart Segmentation.

The percentage of areas infected can be quickly generated and reported to an Excel data table or analysis report.

Dental

Dental Medicine is involved in the study, diagnosis, treatment, disorders, etc., where dental image analysis and processing is relevant.

Dentists and researchers worldwide have been constantly using the tools implemented by Media Cybernetics for dental diseases image processing, image analysis in orthodontics, implantology, oral surgery, 3D dental imaging.
