Abstract

Abstract

En 中文
Nuclear morphology is indicative of cellular health in many contexts. In order to robustly and quantitatively measure nuclear size and shape, numerous experimental methods leveraging fluorescence microscopy have been developed. While these methods are useful for quantifying two-dimensional morphology, they often fail to accurately represent the three-dimensional structure of the nucleus, thus omitting important spatial and volumetric information. To address the need for a more accurate image analysis modality, we have developed a software platform that faithfully reconstructs membrane surfaces in three dimensions with sub-pixel resolution. Here, we showcase its broad applicability across species and nuclear scale, as well as provide information on how to employ this platform for diverse experimental systems.
