Label-free cell counting and viability prediction with brightfield imaging and deep learning

Cell viability assessment is a core requirement in cell culture systems, with critical applications in biopharmaceutical manufacturing and drug development. Conventionally, it is measured by adding membrane-impermeable dyes to a sample (a process called staining), which allows compromised cell membranes to be distingui...

CelFDrive: Multimodal deep learning-assisted microscopy for automated detection of rare events.

The emergence of automated microscopy has enabled the collection of large datasets of rare biological events, accelerating discovery in biology. However, most existing methods cannot be readily integrated into microscopy set-ups or are limited to a single microscope type. We present CelFDrive, a software package that a...

Assessment of Transfer Learning for H&E Virtual Staining in Veterinary Oncology

Conventional hematoxylin and eosin staining is indispensable for histopathology but is time-, labor-, and resource-intensive, environmentally unsustainable, and sensitive to operator and reagent variability. We developed a two-stage transfer-learning virtual staining (VS) pipeline for generating H&E-like images from la...

Utilizing U-Nets for quantitative differential phase contrast imaging for biomedical images

Traditional quantitative differential phase-contrast (qDPC) imaging is constrained by the need for multiple intensity measurements, which limits its application for real-time living cell monitoring. This study introduces a single-shot quantitative DPC imaging method that integrates radially asymmetric color-encoded ill...

Microscopy image segmentation using a fine-tuned machine learning model with limited training dataset.

Manual annotation of microscopic images of thin tissue sections remains time-consuming step limiting the throughput of diagnostic analysis. We present a novel automated approach using the total intensity image as an input to a U-Net architecture of Convolutional Neural Network with a pretrained ResNet-34 encoder for im...

Particle tracking in quantitative microscopy: a modular tutorial on classical and deep learning methods

Particle tracking is a central tool in digital microscopy for quantifying micro- and nanoscale dynamics. Selecting and validating appropriate methods remains challenging, particularly under low signal-to-noise ratios or high particle densities and for researchers with limited computational expertise. In this talk, we p...
