ImagCell: a computer tool for cell culture image processing applications in bioimpedance measurements.

This paper presents a computer tool for automatic analysis of cell culture images. The program allows the extraction of relevant information from biological images for pre- and postsystem analysis. In particular, this tool is being used for electrical characterization of electrode-solution-cell systems in which bioimpedance is the main parameter to be known. The correct modeling of this kind of systems enables both electronic system characterization for circuit design specifications and data decoding from measurements. The developed program allows cell culture image processing for geographic information extraction and generates cell count and equivalent circuit descriptions useful for system simulations.
