Axonal Elongation of Neural Progenitor Cells (PC12)
High-speed auto focus
Points on recording
Watch the cell in the upper-left part of the image.
The axon from one cell is extending and coming closer to an axon that has extended from another cell.
- Even if cells move up and down out of the original focal plane, the BZ is still able to capture a focused image through the use of the Best Focus function.
Conventional auto-focus functions sometimes fail to focus because image capturing is performed according to the relative distance (offset value) from the bottom of the dish. - Since these cells are easily damaged by excitation light, reducing the intensity and exposure time is critical. Because the BZ has a highly sensitive CCD, it is still able to capture a clear image with low noise.
- Even weak fluorescence signals can be visualized with the Haze Reduction function.
- The Multi-point Time-lapse function records, with minimal loss, the “best post-ligand point” that is obtained from a single specimen.
