Figure 2From: A transfer function approach to measuring cell inheritanceNumber of quantum dot loaded endosomes versus the fluorescence intensity measured for that cell. The number of quantum dot loaded endosomes is plotted versus the fluorescence intensity measured by flow cytometry for that particular cell. The linear relationship between the measured fluorescence and the number of organelles labelled is a requirement for the transfer function approach. The insets show typical examples of the cell images used to construct the data by the imaging cytometer: the quantum dot loaded endosomes are clearly visible.Back to article page
