摘要
Many microcarriers used for the cultivation of animal cells do not allow for convenient microscopic observation of cell morphology and viability due to their optical properties. Using fluorescent viable stain combining fluorescein diacetate and ethidium bromide, we observed the distribution, morphology and viability of cells on various microcarriers.
