Automaged Image Collection and Analysis
GFP Robotics
Since 2001, we have been developing a robotics system for automated GFP detection in tissues growing in Petri dishes.
This robotics system allows collection of images from multiple samples, in Petri dishes, which are mounted on a 2 dimensional robotics platform. The platform is computer-controlled, and tissues are precisely placed under the objective of a MZFLIII fluorescent dissecting microscope at specific times. Images are collected using a Spot camera controlled via custom software.
Image collection, followed by image analysis, allows the generation of large amount of data quantifying gene expression. Assembly of the images yields digital time-lapse animations of tissue growth and gene expression.
