Image cytometry is a microscopy technique used by biologists to measure properties of individual cells or cell populations. Digital microscopy images are recorded and computer processed by image analysis software to count, locate and measure the morphology of cells or sub-cellular structures. Prior to analysis, cells are often made to fluoresce to make sub-cellular features or specific substances visible by labeling these with fluorescent labels.
