The two defining characteristics of a stem cell are perpetual self-renewal and the ability to differentiate into a specialized adult cell type.

Q-Phase technology provides high phase detection sensitivity, allowing for measuring the cell dry mass of divided cells in pg/µm² and thus defines cells with the morphological asymmetric division.

In addition, the clarity of the produced images ensures a precise segmentation and identification of delicate cell processes for detailed morphological assessment during differentiation. Q-Phase fluorescent module works simultaneously with QPI to visualize the differentiation markers.

Due to the fundamental function of stem cells in developmental biology and their potential use in regenerative medicine and rare genetic disease treatment, the visualization of their differentiation gained high importance. LiveCodim super-resolution module enables the investigation of fundamental mechanisms driving stem cells on the molecular level.
