Abstract: Microscopes can now cover large spatial areas and capture stem cell behavior over time. However, without discovering statistically reliable quantitative stem cell quality measures, products cannot be released to market. A Web-based measurement system overcomes desktop limitations by leveraging cloud and cluster computing for offline computations and by using Deep Zoom extensions for interactive viewing and measurement.
