## Abstract For the cultivation of mammalian cells on microcarriers a minimum inoculum concentration is required to initiate cell attachment and subsequent cell growth. A critical cell number model has been proposed to elucidate the mechanism of the inoculum requirement. In this model it was hypoth

Abstract
Quantitative image analysis has been applied to the monitoring of cultures of a mammalian cell line on microcarriers. Procedures have been developed to investigate microcarrier colonization and cluster formation and to determine the eventual modification of cell size during cultivation using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) microphotography. The human kidney tumor cells (TCL 598) on which the procedures were tested underwent a slight size decrease during the development of the first cell layer on the microcarriers. The cluster size and the cell size remained constant during the culture stationary phase.
