IF Cell Culture - Osteoclast
Segment nuclei, identify multinucleated osteoclasts, and quantify cell number, nuclei per osteoclast, osteoclast area, and marker intensity within osteoclasts.

The IF Cell Culture - Osteoclast App allows segmentation of nuclei, the identification of cultured multinucleated osteoclasts (stained by a specific marker) and if wanted the quantification of one or two additonal markers. The App outputs the number of detected cells, osteoclasts and nuclei per osteoclast as well as the area of osteoclasts and intensity of markers within the osteoclasts.
