Early stage · building our first prototype

Trust what you see.

CytoScope brings cell image analysis into one simple tool, with no coding needed, so researchers spend less time on manual work and can trust their results.

The problem

Biology runs on images. Analysing them is slow and fragmented.

Microscope images are growing faster than the tools to analyse them. Following cells over time is still an open research problem, so much of the counting and checking is still done by hand, and manual annotation is subjective.

Image dependence
77%

of 240 research papers in eight biology journals contained original images.[3]

Data size
Terabytes

The newest 3D live datasets span hundreds of gigabytes to terabytes each.[1]

Trust
By hand

Manual annotation is slow, labour-intensive and subjective, so researchers can't be fully sure of their own numbers.[5, 6]

The solution

The whole analysis in one place, with results you can rely on.

Optimise

Less time on repetitive image work and more time for research, with no coding experience needed.

Trust

Clear, transparent results that you can check at a glance and rely on.

Check

Every result stays transparent, so any analysis can be reviewed and repeated.

And more on the way, built together with the researchers who use it.

Who it's for

Built for researchers who work with cell images.

Microscopy is at the heart of modern biology, and the amount of image data keeps growing. We want to support the people and the facilities behind that work.
