Published Date: May 2025

Using fluorescent markers, live cell imaging is a potent microscopy technique that allows for the long-term observation of living cells under a microscope. A number of important factors are driving the rapid growth of the live cell imaging market. The efficacy of the drug development process is increased by the growing use of high-content screening (HCS) techniques in drug discovery. Furthermore, the need for cutting-edge imaging technologies that allow for real-time monitoring of cellular activity has increased due to the rising prevalence of chronic disorders such as cancer. Furthermore, new opportunities for the use of live cell imaging technologies have been made possible by increased financing for biomedical research and the extension of applications beyond conventional biological domains.
