Nexcelom Celigo Micro-Well Plate Imager
Function of the instrument
This instrument can do automated imaging and cell classification and counting in standard multiwell plates.
Overview
- Accepts T-flasks (T-25 and T-75) and most multi-well plates (1536-well to 6-well)
- Extremely accurate brightfield cell imaging and identification across the entire well
- Three channel fluorescence (in addition to brightfield)
- Extremely rapid scanning (~5-15 min across a range of microplates)
- Intuitive and easy-to-use, yet powerful, software segmentation and gating interface

Grants: The Cellular Imaging Core operates at a loss and is subsidized by the Department of Medicine. What does not get included in the balance sheets are the indirect costs generated from grants obtained with the help of data from our core. You can help us continue to serve you by letting us know when you submit a proposal and/or are awarded a grant which contains data obtained from the use of our Core.
Acknowledgments: We would greatly appreciate it if authors would acknowledge the Cellular Imaging Core in their publications containing data obtained with the equipment and/or assistance of Core personnel.
