Title:
APPARATUS FOR MEASURING CELL ACTIVITY AND METHOD FOR ANALYZING CELL ACTIVITY
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2013/147398
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an apparatus that uses shadow images of cells to continuously measure cell activity at a high processing rate in order to provide cell activity and cell number results. According to one embodiment of the present invention, instead of a highly experienced examiner or technician using a microscope, ELISA reader, etc. having to collect various cell activity measurements and cell numbers, the collection of said information can be automated so as to reduce cost and largely reduce errors in measurements through the development of computer software coupled with hardware using low cost and compact optoelectronic components and simple image processing techniques.
