Image Analysis
Visualize and Quantify Image Data
We provide four high-end workstations and support several image analysis packages for visualization, quantification and restoration of light microscopy, or LM, image data. We offer tailored consultation on the analysis of electron microscopy, or EM, images. And, we can advise and train you to conduct quantitative data analysis on your own.
Thanks to our joint arrangement with the Genomics & Bioinformatics shared resource, services are available to assist you with quantifying your imaging data in a rigorous and meaningful way.

Highlighted features:

We can perform analysis on virtually any input, including:
- Datasets: 2D, 3D, time-lapse, multi-well/high-throughput
- Image formats, both nonproprietary (e.g., .tif, .jpg, png) and commonly used biomedical formats (e.g., .dv, .lsm, .czi, .nd2)
- Samples: cultured cells, tissue sections, organoids, embryos, small organisms
- Labeling, including label-free (phase contrast, brightfield), fluorescence (IF, FISH, fluorescent proteins/dyes) and histochemistry (IHC, H&E, cell-type specific stains)
We apply custom-made, versatile image analysis pipelines to extract quantitative metrics related to:
- Cell/spot/object counting
- Subcellular localization, including location of subcellular structures and organelles, nucleocytopasmic ratio, and density of objects of interest in a cellular compartment
- Signal colocalization
- Morphometric analysis, including surface, volume, circularity, eccentricity, solidity and texture
- Spatial distribution, including position of cells, crowding or neighbor occupancy
- Cell tracking, including position, path and time-related metrics
- Wound healing assays
- High-throughput screening
