Hello Cam,

yes, Imaris is able to split tracks and follow daughter cells - also vice
versa. How well this works depends mainly on your dataset. With a rather
high temporal resolution (cells move less than their diameter between two
frames) and well defined cells (spatial resolution, signal-to-background)
it shouldn't be a problem. If you would like to go this way, I recommend
to directly ask your local Bitplane representative to give you an
introduction.

Michael
