Performing object tracking/motility studies with the goal of statistically quantifying motion can be a daunting task. Living cells, for example, may cross the paths of other cells, make contact with other objects, move outside of the imaging volume, or undergo cell division during an experiment. Further complications are introduced when attempting to image especially delicate specimens under demanding conditions where image quality may be suboptimal. Extracting accurate measurements from such data sets requires careful attention to all experimental parameters and the assistance of powerful image processing and analysis tools that are designed for such studies.
Attendees will see how such studies can be performed with 2D time series data and on 4D (3D volume over time) image sets and will be shown some of the many measurements (e.g. velocity and displacement) that can be performed on both individual objects and on entire populations.
Bring your questions to this live, interactive web-based seminar.
Subjects include:
- Collecting high-quality images
- Enhancing images for accurate identification of objects
- Performing motion analysis on individual objects
- Performing motion analysis on large populations of objects
- Performing motion analysis of objects in a 3D volume
- Capturing and logging measurement data
- Archival and databasing of images.
Provided free of charge, this webinar is sponsored by MAG, the Microimaging Applications Group. MAG is a group of imaging companies who work together to provide an unparalleled range of microimaging solutions to science and industry.
