The Importance of Proper Focus When using Bright Field Imaging for Total Cell Count and Viability


Presenter: Dr. Dmitry Kuksin, Assay Development Scientist, Nexcelom Bioscience
Assay: Cell Counting Techniques
Instrument: Cellometer
Runtime: 00:38:07
Aired: October 24, 2014

Have you ever wondered just exactly how the Cellometer software knows what to outline as a cell? Have you questioned whether getting precise focus is really necessary for your sample? In this user training webinar, Dr. Dmitry Kuksin explains the importance of good focus – and why this is important when ising the Bright Field image to determine total cell count and Trypan Blue viability with all our Cellometer systems. He covers how image cytometry works, shows examples of samples that are unfocused, have dim centers, have fuzzy edges and also are properly focused, and explains why an unfocused sample can result in lower viability percentages, or lower total cell counts than you expected.
