Summary: Using a unique non-invasive label-free cell counting method comparable to conventional cell counting using a hemocytometer was produced. The major advantage of using HoloMonitor™ M2 is the opportunity to easily access information about cell number, size, optical thickness, and confluence in an automatic, non-invasive manner.

Keywords: HoloMonitor M2, cell counting, confluence, phase shift, optical path length, digital holographic technology
