A no-fluff, step-by-step scratch assay imaging protocol for images your software can actually measure. Twenty-six numbered steps take you from pixel calibration and Köhler alignment, through Time 0 capture with locked exposure, to returning to identical fields at later time points. Includes an equipment table, an acceptance-criteria checklist to run before you analyze, and a troubleshooting table mapping every common symptom to the step that fixes it.

A no-fluff, step-by-step cell imaging protocol for microscopy images you can actually quantify. Eighteen numbered steps take you from Köhler setup and pixel calibration, through setting exposure on your brightest sample so nothing saturates, to acquiring the whole set under locked, identical settings. Works for brightfield, phase contrast, and fluorescence. Includes an equipment table, an acceptance-criteria checklist, and a troubleshooting table mapping each symptom to the s

A perfect scratch becomes unusable if the field drifts out of focus, the illumination shifts between time points, or the wound edges are too low-contrast to segment. The biggest scratch assay imaging mistakes aren't dramatic failures, they're small inconsistencies that quietly distort wound area. This guide covers the imaging principles behind reproducible wound healing assays on any microscope: imaging mode, objectives, Köhler illumination, and locking your optics.

You asked to get CytCut onto your bench now instead of waiting, so here it is. CytCut 3.5 is available for immediate order at $36, in 24- and 48-well, the same wound healing assay tool that turns minutes of pipette scratching into seconds of consistent, reproducible wounds. It's UV- and alcohol-sanitizable with a 3–6 month working life. The autoclavable CytCut 4.0 is still on track for end of September at $99 pre-order. Order 3.5 with code cytcut352673 for $15 off through Jul

The statistics were the easy part; then you lost an afternoon nudging axis labels, adding error bars and significance stars, and redrawing schematics in Illustrator. Sophie's Visualizer, CLYTE's scientific illustration engine, lives in the same chat where you analyze your data, so you just describe the figure you want and get it publication-ready in seconds: data charts, experimental-design schematics, and mechanism diagrams. We walk through turning one finished analysis into
