Description
Within the laboratory a PerkinElmer Vectra has been purchased which can image whole tissue, tissue micro-arrays, smears and cytospins with multiple markers (IHC, fluorescence or standard labels such as H&E). The system allows for imaging cross the spectrum from 420-720nm, hence every pixel of the digitized image contains 60 separate intensity measures across the spectrum. Using control slides (non-labelled, single labelled) the individual spectra of the labels can be characterised and then used to extract or reject specific spectra from the raw data. Applications include the enumeration of rare cells, the characterisation of circulating tumour cells, cell cycle analysis, analysis of co-localisation in tissue sections and TMAs. Facility: yes
