Cell Mapping and Analysis

Cell Number and Structural Volume

Using automated tracing algorithms, BIOQUANT measures cross-sectional area in serially sectioned volumes of tissue. 

Vertex and edge data from tracings are used to reconstruct 3-dimensional models of serially sectioned tissue. 

Based on cell-specific staining, BIOQUANT automatically counts cells within the volume of tissue. The contour and location of each cell is also recorded for use in the reconstruction.
