Integrated Live-Cell Imaging Systems for Continuous High-Resolution

Monitor cellular dynamics as they happen—without disrupting viability—using precision-engineered live-cell imaging platforms.

Live-Cell Imaging Systems: Capturing Cellular Life in Motion

Live-cell imaging systems allow researchers to observe biological processes as they unfold—tracking cellular behavior, organelle movement, and molecular interactions in real time. These systems maintain physiological conditions (temperature, humidity, CO₂) while capturing high-resolution time-lapse images, enabling insights into cell division, differentiation, migration, and signal transduction.

At Cellular Tissue Analysis, headquartered in Indianapolis, IN, we deliver robust live-cell imaging solutions for B2B labs across North America—equipping life sciences researchers with tools that ensure minimal phototoxicity, high temporal resolution, and long-term stability.

Core Components

In addition to our proprietary systems, we support live-cell platforms from global leaders like GAO Tek Inc. and GAO RFID Inc.—combining precision optics with automation-ready configurations.
