Abstract
PURPOSE: In biotechnology, microscopic cell imaging is often used to identify and analyze cell morphology and cell state for a variety of applications. For example, microscopy can be used to detect the presence of cytopathic effects (CPE) in cell culture samples to determine virus contamination. Another application of microscopy is to verify clonality during cell line development. Conventionally, inspection of these microscopy images is performed manually by human analysts. This is both tedious and time consuming. In this paper, we propose using supervised deep learning algorithms to automate the cell detection processes mentioned above.
