Considerations for multiplex live cell imaging

8 Dec 2023

Live cell imaging experiments are key to understanding dynamic processes. They allow us to visually record cells in their living state, without artifacts that could be introduced by fixation or termination of the various living processes. With live cell imaging, it is possible to observe dynamic processes in cells, tissues, or whole organisms in their natural environment, rather than just obtaining endpoint images and data. For example, you can study co-localization of cells or proteins to see if the different targets are positioned close to one another and observe how they interact. In this application eBook from Leica Microsystems, explore the use of multicolor, or multiplex, microscopy for live cell imaging, some key aspects of setting up a successful multicolor live cell experiment, and how to avoid some of the major pitfalls.

Mica - Imaging Microhub

Leica Microsystems Europe

Mica is the world’s first imaging Microhub. More than a highly automated microscope, it unites widefield and confocal imaging in a sample protecting, incubating environment. With the simple push of a button, you have everything you need - all in one place - to supercharge fluorescence imaging workflows and get meaningful scientific results faster.

In Vivo Imaging Systems<i>In vivo</i> imaging systems, including pre-clinical imaging systems and medical imaging systems are used to non-invasively visualize and capture images of live animals and plants. Monitor the natural processes or diseases of your subjects using small-animal pre-clinical imaging systems, including single photon positron emission tomography (SPECT), positron emission tomography (PET), computed tomography (micro-CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), X-ray radiography, ultrasound, fluorescence and bioluminescence imagers. Multimodal systems and software solutions are also available for correlative analysis of organ, tissue, cell, or molecular-level processes.

This technique provides in-depth insight into fast and complex biological processes, by allowing dynamic imaging of living cells instead of acquiring an individual image at a single point in time.MultiplexingMultiplexing refers to the ability to measure multiple targets or analytes simultaneously in a single experiment. This technique is valuable for high-throughput screening, diagnostics, and complex assays, as it increases efficiency and data quality.
