Yokogawa technology
Machine-learning
Machine-learning functionality allows for unbiased digitization in experiments evaluated through appearance.
Automated shape recognition can be performed by simply clicking on the shape you wish the software to learn.
CE Bright Field（Contrast-enhanced Bright Field ）
By using Yokogawa’s “CE-Bright Field” proprietary image creation technology, two types of images can be output from bright field images. The first is an image resembling a phase-difference image, created from a regular DPC (digital phase contrast) image, and is effective for cytoplasm recognition. The second is an image resembling a fluorescence image, effective for nuclear recognition.
Abundant analysis functions
3D analysis
・Analysis of Z-stack images in three-dimensional space. ・The volume and the location of objects in 3D space can be quantified.
Label-free Analysis
The recognition of cells without the use of labeling is possible using images created with CE Bright Field technology.
Time, cost and effects on cells due to fluorescent labeling are eliminated from phenotype analysis.
Image Stitching*1
Tiled images are generated through image stitching and analyzed, allowing for accurate quantification.
Ideal for analysis spanning across fields, such as of spheroids, tissue sections and neurites.
Manual Region definition*1
Manual region of analysis regions is possible for complex trends that are difficult to identify through automated image processing.
Morphology in the defined regions can be visualized, facilitating analysis.

The CQ1 confocal image acquisition mechanism with the distinctive CSU® unit has a function to sequentially acquire fine cell images along the Z-axis and capture information from the entire thickness of
cells which include heterogenic populations of various cell cycle stages. In addition, saved digital images can be useful for precise observation and analysis of spatial distribution of intracellular molecules.
The CQ1 capability to seamlessly analyze images and obtain data for things such as cell population statistics to individual cell morphology will provide benefits for both basic research and drug discovery
targetingM-cell cycle phase.
