Extended Live Cell Imaging

Image your live cells as long as you need. Limit cell damages caused by fluorescent markers, bleaching and phototoxicity.

Long-term imaging (11 hrs) of mouse pre-adipocytes. Mitochondria were labeled with mitTracker. A holotomographic image was taken every 15 seconds and a fluorescence image every 5 minutes.
