Before choosing a brain region, map the whole slice
Whole-brain cell mapping shows where classified cells appear in atlas space, helping researchers choose regions for focused quantitative analysis.

When a coronal brain section is not quite coronal
A slightly oblique cut can leave a brain section without a convincing coronal atlas match. See what tilt changes and how NeuroQP accounts for it in analysis.

DAPI vs Marker-Based Cell Counting: What You Can Measure Without a Nuclear Stain
NeuroQP now supports marker-based cell counting when DAPI is missing. Here is what that workflow can measure, and where DAPI remains better.

10x vs 20x Brain Slice Imaging: Accuracy vs Coverage
20x gives higher accuracy, but 10x can cover far more brain area in the same acquisition time. The right choice changes the scope of the study.

Automated DAPI Cell Counting for Mouse Brain Slices: The Count Is Not The Hard Part
Automated DAPI cell counting is not just about detecting nuclei. The real value is a workflow that survives real mouse brain slice datasets.

Mouse Brain Atlas Registration: Solve Anatomy on the Whole Slice
Mouse brain atlas registration works best on the 4x whole-slice image, where anatomical context is visible, then carries into 10x or 20x quantification.
