ImarisCell cell visualisation software

ImarisCell is an Imaris module specifically designed for the analysis of 2D, 3D and 4D images of cells and their components. Enabling researchers to qualitatively and quantitatively examine micro relationships that exist between cells, it also allows researchers to map organelles and other cellular components within individual cells, then examine the relationships between those components.

ImarisCell enables statistics on a per cell as well as per intracellular component basis. With ImarisCell, the fundamental unit of analysis has changed from a single image to clusters of cells, individual cells or components of cells. This evolution prevents unnecessary generalisations caused by the limitations of single image analysis and facilitates specificity at the biological level of detail dictated by the user’s research.

ImarisCell provides the platform necessary for 4D analysis (tracking 3D structures over time), which allows changes in size, shape, intensity and position to be examined between cells or between organelles within a cell. This provides researchers with the opportunity to examine communication mechanisms as well as mechanical and structural functions of cells and cell components.
