"cell outline" is correct and usable in written English.
You could use it to refer to the boundaries of a cell in a spreadsheet, for example: "I'm having trouble reading the cell outline for this cell in the spreadsheet."
The epithelial cells possess typical microscopical characteristics: the cell outline is clearly marked, and the nucleus large and spherical or ellipsoidal.
Based on the results in Figure 4(b), the intensity threshold for identifying the cell outline was determined to be 55. Figure 4 (a) Contours of the fluorescence intensity at the cell bottom (right image in Figure 3(b)).
In order to allow the system to detect and obtain the cell outline, the dilation followed by erosion was applied to the image as shown in the output image of the cells in Figure 4c, the cell boundary with higher intensity than the background was generated.
The submicron particles are shown in red and the cell outline is superimposed in blue.
Once these were detected, if their center of mass overlapped with the location of a known cell outline, that cell was recorded to be "on" in that frame.
The cell outline captured during confocal imaging is superimposed onto the contour plots to show the location of the cell during each push-pull stage.
In Fig. 18, a schematic of different convex cell outlines and their designations is given.
Closed curves were drawn using the points of cell outlines on the planes with a height interval of 1 m.
Table 2 summarizes the error estimates for the cell outlines that were identified by the T1 and T2 threshold values.
Cell outlines were traced by hand and area was measured in OpenLab (Improvision, Lexington, MA).
The soma of stained cells was outlined manually to ensure all cell outlines were accurate and all non-neuronal material such as blood vessels were excluded.
