Beyond Labels: Enhanced 3D Live Cell Imaging Combined with Flow Cytometry
This presentation explores cutting-edge advancements in label-free 3D live cell imaging, integrating high-throughput flow cytometry with tomographic microscopy. We demonstrate how this combined approach overcomes limitations of traditional 2D and fluorescence-based methods, enabling detailed visualization of cellular architecture and dynamics without the perturbations of labeling. This label-free technique opens new avenues for studying cell cycle progression, cell-drug interactions and other dynamic biological processes, offering valuable insights into cellular function and behavior.
