CIL:21775

Five different samples of Drosophila melanogaster Kc167 cells were stained with Hoechst 33342, a DNA stain. The last sample (labeled nodsRNA, CIL 21789) is of wild-type cells. Each of the other four samples (labeled 48, 340, Anillin, and mad2, CIL 21749, 21739, 21759, and 21773, respectively) has a different gene knocked down by RNAi. This is the set that were treated with mad2 RNAi. There are 10 images of each sample, for a total of 50 images. The images were acquired on a Zeiss Axiovert 200M microscope. A recommended use for these five image sets is to algorithmically compute the number of cells in each image.
