A1. Widefield / Epi-illumination at Achucarro Basque Center for Neurosciences - Imaging Facility
High-Content Screening Platform
About the Installation
Standard illumination mode where the entire specimen is simultaneously flooded with light.
How this lab uses this technology
High Content Screening combines automated fluorescence imaging with quantitative image analysis to enable multiparametric evaluation of cellular phenotypes at scale. This technology supports high-throughput acquisition and extraction of morphological and functional data, facilitating applications such as compound screening, phenotypic profiling, and cellular pathway analysis in complex biological models.
