<strong>Counting</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>measuring</strong> <strong>using</strong> Metamorph<br />

• To count the number of cells see the Cell Scoring section of the Metamorph guide; Page 12<br />

Cell scoring uses a maximum of 2 colours, one of which needs to be DAPI nuclei staining.<br />

See also the Nuclei counting section of the Metamorph guide; Page 15, to count just nuclei.<br />

• To count <strong>using</strong> two or more wavelengths, see the Multi-Wavelength cell scoring section of the<br />

Metamorph guide; Page 13<br />

• To measure distance or area in Metamorph you will need to calibrate your <strong>image</strong>s. See the<br />

Calibrating Images section of the Metamorph guide; Page 7<br />

• To make measurements from different regions of interest see the Region Measurements section of<br />

the Metamorph guide; Page 8<br />
