The results show that the system can be applied for high-resolution single-cell imaging sensitively in a short time, the cell image provided by the system has a high-resolution up to 511×512 pixel. The results also shows that this system has a more excellent resolving power than conventional optical microscope, under a 100× objective(oil lens) the spatial resolution up to 0.24 μm per pixel in X direction was obtained, which is close to the resolution limit of conventional optical microscope. The system was used for multi-parameter evaluation of breast tumor malignancy and malignant grade for a single tumor cell based on nuclei DNA ploidy measurements, and satisfactory results were obtained.展开更多

Methods： Some influencing factors of MTT assay in studying the sensitivity of human peripheral blood mononuclear cells （PBMC） to anti-cancer drugs were observed, including red blood cells, platelets, three different kinds of DMSO and different concentrations of MTT. Meanwhile the stability of tumor drug-coated plate was monitored. Results： The red blood cells and platelets may affect the results at a certain range of concentration. Analytical pure DMSO, both imported and domestic reagents showed the same color with MI3-, and the A values of the reaction were dependent on MTT dose. The stability of the freeze-drying drug-coated plates was superior to non freeze-drying ones. Conclusion： To make clear and definite all kinds of influencing factors might contribute to a kind of standard MTT assay for drug sensitivity test in vitro.展开更多
