What is Cellects?

Purpose

Cellects analyzes organisms that grow or move on an immobile surface.

To generate usable data

Cellects allows you to analyze timelapses in the form of a set of images or a video. To work properly, these timelapses must be taken with a camera capturing specimen(s) in one or several stationary arena(s). Arena's position and illumination conditions have to remain constant throughout the experiment. Then, run the software and help it find the location of the timelapse (see Data localisation).

User guide description

In the first section of this user manual, we will explain how to set up a first quick analysis with Cellects. Any Cellects analysis takes place in 3 steps: data specification, first image analysis and video tracking. The second section of this user manual runs thoroughly through every option to run Cellects in particular conditions and to finetune an already working setup.
