Imaging Flow Cytometry: A picture is worth a thousand data points
Session organisers: Dr Derek Davis and Zosia Maciorowski
Wednesday 2nd July from 10.00-12.00
Cytometry and microscopy are well established techniques that go hand in hand. Both are extremely widespread and both have advanced rapidly in recent years. An exciting new area of research is imaging flow cytometry where quantitative information based on fluorescence emission is correlated with morphological information gained on an individual cell as is passes through excitation sources. In this way thousands of cells per second can be analysed leading to robust and statistically reliable information. This session will highlight the advances and importance of this technology in cell biology and nanotechnology.
