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.
