A major question in developmental biology is understanding how cellular fate decisions are regulated precisely in space and time.

Fortunately, we can now begin to observe these processes with modern imaging approaches, which allow the tracking of cell fate decision events and cellular rearrangements by live 3D time-lapse microscopy.

This development is shifting our understanding of pattern formation in development away from static models towards models based on the principles of dynamical systems and statistical mechanics.

In this episode of Listen In, hear how light-sheet microscopy is the technique of choice for volumetric live imaging of 3D samples at high speed with minimal phototoxicity.

See two user examples of how light-sheet microscopy is helping scientists understand the biological process of intestinal and brain organoid development.

We also explore the technology behind the Leica Viventis LS2 Live, which combines dual-view illumination and detection in an open-top configuration.

You will also learn how this unique configuration allows easy sample mounting and long-term imaging from small embryos and organoids to large multicellular systems.

In this episode, learn how AI-powered segmentation, spatial analysis, and phenotyping can help you gain new insights for 3D images with complex morphological measurements featuring up to 15 biomarkers.

See how to characterize tissue microenvironments and examine the differences between normal and disease tissues without the need to code or train Deep Learning models—all with Aivia.

Plus, get your 3D spatial biology results faster with an inbuilt, enhanced Deep Learning model that can accurately detect and partition cells with morphological variations.

You will discover how to leverage your expertise or simple automation to classify cells into different phenotypes and interactively explore them in their spatial context.

We also demonstrate how, with a few clicks, you can produce key measurements such as percentage distribution, Pearson correlation coefficient, and dimensionality reduction. You will also learn how to visualize the relationship between biomarkers and clusters using dendrograms.
