Engineering Research Equipment Grant: Image Analysis Systemfor Automated Microscopy

为自动显微镜配置的图像分析系统将用于定量表征旨在了解细胞行为的各个方面的实验。具体来说，自动化图像分析将用于：-测量细胞的空间分布和趋化性分析中细胞运动的路径。-表征在生物膜形成过程中附着在表面的微生物细胞的分布。研究固定在聚合物基质中的哺乳动物细胞的生长动力学。实验数据将使用pi假设的理论考虑进行评估。

An image analysis system configured for automated microscopy will be used to quantitatively characterize experiments designed to understand various aspects of cell behavior. Specifically, automated image analysis will be used for: - measuring spatial distributions of cells and paths of cell movement in chemotaxis assays. - characterizing distributions of microbial cells which attach to surfaces during biofilm formation. - investigating growth kinetics of mammalian cells immobilized in a polymer matrix. Experimental data are to be evaluated using theoretical considerations postulated by the PIs.
