Let WimAdipose handle it for you
Objective, reproducible, and precise quantification of white adipose tissue images is ensured by our WimAdipose web-based automated solution.
It is engineered to measure white adipose tissue cells in H&E stained histological section images, with the aim to provide you with accurate, meaningful results.
You take the images, we do the rest.
Adipocytes play an important role in energy and glucose metabolism, serving both as energy storage units as well as endocrine regulators for these processes. Being adipocyte size their major modulator, the measurement of adipocyte cross-sectional surface area has been widely used to provide accurate and reproducible characterization of metabolic-related diseases like obesity, diabetes and various cardiovascular diseases.
The direct measurement of adipocyte size by microscopy is widely used, although the method is tedious and time consuming. Computer-assisted image analysis can overcome most of the disadvantages associated with this technique. WimAdipose does the quantification for you in a fast, easy and automated way, so you can concentrate in other tasks that are more productive.
There are many advantages of adding WimAdipose to your workflow:
- It is easy to use, fast and automated. Just upload your images and get your results in minutes.
- Just pay for your number of images, not a cent more. WimAdipose is a pay-per-use service.
- Accepts most image and scan slide formats, including zvi, lsm or ndpi. Importers for additional ones can be developed upon request.
- Takes objective measurements with precision and accuracy.
- Suits for the reproducibility paradigm: same rules to measure the same kind of experiments.
- Check your results from your Wimasis account anytime, anywhere. All you need is an Internet connection.
That is simple! Just go to myWim, Wimasis' Image Analysis Platform, and follow these steps:

For every image that you upload, WimAdipose will generate an output CSV sheet file that will give you insight into the outcome of your experiment. Some of the measurements included are:
- Cell count
- Individual cell area
- Mean cell area
- Standard deviation of the cell area
- Mean equivalent diameter
- Equivalent diameter standard deviation
Besides, a detailed control image is generated in order to help you to visualize the parameters that WimAdipose provides you with:
