Three-dimensional spheroid models are widely used to mimic tumor biology more effectively than 2D cultures. However, imaging these structures presents challenges related to optical focus accuracy and signal detection. Advanced high-content imaging platforms address these limitations with the help of robust automated image acquisition and enhanced resolution for deeper cellular insight.

Download this application note to learn how automated image analysis enables detection of structural changes in cancer spheroid models following drug exposure.
