Fluorescent Cell Counting
Measure % RFP Positive Cells in Samples Containing GFP, RFP and Non-Expressing Cells
Live cell analysis of a 96-well plate containing samples with varied % of RFP, GFP and non-expressing HeLa cells were counted using Celigo. Bright field, green fluorescent and red fluorescent channels were used.
Step 1. Acquire & View Images on Celigo Image Cytometer
View whole-well cell images
Double click any well on the well map to display whole-well images. Zoom in to see details as shown below in cell image examples.
