Features
-
Multiple imaging modes
The ImageXpress Pico system provides user- and software-selectable objectives ranging from 4X to 63X, fluorescence imaging, live cell imaging, and brightfield imaging modes.
-
Predefined cell imaging protocols
The system offers preconfigured cell imaging protocols ranging from simple cell count to sophisticated neurite tracing analysis, removing the guesswork from optimizing parameters.
-
Plate-to-individual cell view
Data can be visualized at multiple levels from plate overviews to individual cells. Images are clickable to locate cells that match specific criteria.
-
Integrated data visualization tools
More than a digital microscope, the imager’s software transforms images into data on the fly. Scatter plots, videos, and more can be generated from automatically extracted cell data with a few clicks.
-
Advanced slide-imaging workflow
The whole slide can be quickly scanned to obtain an overview image that helps locate regions of interest. The user can then select those regions to acquire at a higher resolution, reducing time and data storage space.
-
Environmental control and injectors
Temperature control up to 40◦C is standard on every ImageXpress Pico system, making live cell imaging a possibility. Additional configurable options include humidity, gas, and injectors.

Applications of ImageXpress Pico Automated Cell Imaging System
-
Apoptosis Analysis
Apoptosis is a process of programmed cell death important to a number of biological processes including embryonic development and normal tissue maintenance. Disruption in the regulation of apoptosis has been implicated in various diseases including cancer. Biochemical events lead to characteristic changes in cell morphology such as cell shrinkage, nuclear fragmentation, chromatin condensation, and mRNA decay, and ultimately cell death. Apoptosis can be initiated via the intrinsic or extrinsic pathways, and both pathways induce cell death by activating caspase enzymes
-
Cell Counting
Cell counting is fundamental and critical to numerous biological experiments. Assays such as drug compound toxicity, cell proliferation, and inhibition of cell division have a need to assess the number or density of cells in a well. Automated imaging can greatly speed up the cell counting process while reducing manual labor and human errors. Cells can be counted using a variety of methods, such as label-free cell counting under transmitted light or detection of nuclear dye with fluorescent imaging.
