Understanding Live Cell Imaging Systems
Live cell imaging systems are sophisticated technologies used in biological and medical research to observe and analyse living cells in real-time. These systems utilise advanced microscopy techniques, such as fluorescence and phase contrast imaging, to capture dynamic cellular processes, including cell division, migration, and interactions. With features like temperature and CO2 control, they create optimal conditions for maintaining cell viability during imaging. Live cell imaging systems enable researchers to study cellular responses to drugs, investigate disease mechanisms, and explore developmental biology, providing invaluable insights that static imaging cannot offer. By combining high-resolution imaging with automated analysis tools, these systems enhance experimental accuracy and facilitate in-depth understanding of cellular behaviours and functions.
