Image for Quantitative live-cell microscopy

Quantitative live-cell microscopy

Quantitative live-cell microscopy is a scientific technique used to observe living cells under a microscope while measuring various features in real time. Researchers capture images of cells as they grow and interact, allowing them to analyze changes in size, shape, movement, and behavior. By using specialized software, scientists can quantify these observations, providing insights into cellular processes, disease mechanisms, and drug responses. This method is crucial for understanding biology at the cellular level in a dynamic environment, offering a clearer picture of how cells function over time.
