Skin Compartment Mapping
Segments a brightfield skin section, H&E or PAS, into keratin, epidermis, papillary dermis, reticular dermis, and glands, detects the nuclei, and reports the area and share of each compartment.
- Brightfield RGB image of a stained skin section (H&E or PAS)
- Area per compartment: keratin, epidermis, papillary and reticular dermis, glands
- Compartment share of the analysed tissue (%)
- Number of nuclei
- Named compartment outlines on the section
- Layer height and nuclei per layer
- Nuclei density map, to locate inflammatory infiltrate
Everything you need for skin compartment mapping

How it runs
Cytely automates the image analysis so you can focus on the science.
Separate tissue from background
Define each compartment by its stain colour
Clean masks and make compartments mutually exclusive
Detect nuclei
Measure area and share per compartment and count nuclei.
Compatibility
Ready to run1
H&E and PAS stains, FFPE and frozen sections, human and animal skin, whole-section scans and cropped fields, any brightfield scanner or microscope once the colour ranges are set for that stain and scanner.
Inquire for support
Thickness profiles and dermal-epidermal junction shape (see Epidermal Morphometry & Nuclear Density), inflammatory infiltrate as a built-in region, epidermal sublayers, hair follicle subtyping, IHC or fluorescence stains, diagnostic grading.

Loved by researchers
Hear from researchers who use Cytely every day.
The data-driven approach that Cytely offers is a dream to an experienced microscopist like me.
This completely removes bias. The price is negligible when you consider the time spent on image analysis.
It's just amazing what can be done today! Cytely does all the work for me!
Cytely makes me 10 times faster. It saves hours on every experiment.
The insight we gained from Cytely was a completely transformative experience. It allowed us to redesign our experiment and finally move the project forward.
Cytely dramatically improved our timelines while enhancing data reliability through automated, unbiased analysis and significantly larger sample sizes.
With Cytely, we instantly analyzed thousands of cells to precisely identify which were transfected, infected, or both. What had been a three-year roadblock was resolved in our first session.
