Table 1. Imaging and Screening Statistics.
Exemplar resolution and imaging times for given pixel binning levels, using a 10 × 0.5 NA objective and imaging our Tg(mbp:EGFP) reporter line. Fish loading times by LP Sampler to VAST BioImager based on three fish per well (experiment averages 52 s for first fish and 17 s for subsequent two per well). Combined loading and imaging rates per fish for different imaging parameters.
Pixel binning | 1 × 1 | 2 × 2 | 3 × 3 |
---|---|---|---|
Pixel Size (nm) | 283 | 566 | 849 |

Approximate Imaging Time (s/fish) | 260 | 80 | 60 |
Fish loading time (s/fish) | 30 | 30 | 30 |
Load and Image Rate (fish/hour) 5 tiles | 12 | 33 | 40 |
Load and Image Rate (fish/hour) 1 tiles | 43 | 78 | 85 |
