A variety of optional functions enable various analyses
The Basic Pack includes the basic functions necessary to acquire various quantitative data on the morphology and brightness of cells from fluorescence images.
In addition, by adding optional functions, a variety of analyses that are not possible with the basic pack become possible.
Contrast-Enhanced Bright Field
By using Yokogawa's "CE Bright Field" proprietary image creation technology, two types of images can be output from bright field images.
This is a powerful pre-processing function for analysis using the Deep Learning function of Bright Field images.
Phase-type: Images such as those taken by phase-contrast microscopy.
It is useful for high-precision recognition of cell contours and analysis of cell phenotypes.
Fluor-type: Fluorescence-like images, It is useful for nuclear recognition, etc.
Machine Learning
Machine Learning functionality allows for unbiased digitization in experiments evaluated through appearence.
Furthermore, automated shape recognition can be performed by simply clicking on the shape you wish the software to learn.
Same Region over time
The fast calcium oscillations of cardiomyocyte and neuronal activities can be represented as waveforms by measuring intensities in the same region throughout the time-lapse.
Object Tracking
You can monitor dynamic cell behavior by tracking indivisual cell.
It can also track daughter cells after cell division, enabling analysis of cell lineage.
Classification(Gate)
Cells can be classified into groups of cells with similar characteristics.
This function enables to evaluate the number of cells and the ratio of cells in each cell group, and the feature quantities in each specific cell group.
Cell Recognition (Deep Area Finder)
You can recognize targeted objects, such as cells and intracellular organelles by painting them using not only fluorescence images but also bright field images.
This function is useful when the analysis accuracy with conventional analysis methods are not enough.

Cell stage categorized using FucciTime lapse imaging of Fucci-added Hela cells was conducted over 48 hrs at 1 hr intervals. Gating was performed based on the mean intensities of 488 nm and 561 nm for each cell. They were categorized into four stages, and the cell count for each was calculated.
Fluorescent ubiquitination-based cell cycle indicator (Fucci) is a set of fluorescent probes which enables the visualization of cell cycle progression in living cells.
We have been developing a prototype of a genomic drug test support system using our CSU confocal scanner. This system administers chemical compounds that serve as potential drug candidates into living cells, which are the most basic components of all living organisms, records the changes in the amount and localization of target molecules inside cells with the CSU confocal scanner and a highly sensitive CCD camera, and processes and quantifies the captured high-resolution image data.
