For effective treatment of bacterial infections, it is essential to identify the species causing the infection as early as possible. Current methods typically require hours of overnight culturing of a bacterial sample and a larger quantity of cells t...
INTRODUCTION: Fibrosis can damage the normal function of many organs, such as cardiac function, for which no effective clinical therapies exist. However, traditional approaches to anti-fibrosis drug discovery have primarily focused on the final biolo...
The types and quantities of microorganisms in activated sludge are directly related to the stability and efficiency of sewage treatment systems. This paper proposes a sludge microorganism detection method based on microscopic phase contrast image opt...
BACKGROUND: The segmentation of cells and neurites in microscopy images of neuronal networks provides valuable quantitative information about neuron growth and neuronal differentiation, including the number of cells, neurites, neurite length and neur...
Although quantitative analysis of biological images demands precise extraction of specific organelles or cells, it remains challenging in broad-field grayscale images, where traditional thresholding methods have been hampered due to complex image fea...
Astrocytes are glycolytically active cells in the central nervous system playing a crucial role in various brain processes from homeostasis to neurotransmission. Astrocytes possess a complex branched morphology, frequently examined by fluorescent mic...
Endothelial cell density (ECD) is a crucial parameter for the release of corneal grafts for transplantation. The Lions Eye Bank of Baden-Württemberg uses the "Rhine-Tec Endothelial Analysis System" for ECD quantification, which is based on a fixed co...
Reliable detection and classification of bacteria and other pathogens in the human body, animals, food, and water is crucial for improving and safeguarding public health. For instance, identifying the species and its antibiotic susceptibility is vita...
Time-lapse microscopy is the only method that can directly capture the dynamics and heterogeneity of fundamental cellular processes at the single-cell level with high temporal resolution. Successful application of single-cell time-lapse microscopy re...
The PCM (phase contrast microscopy) method for asbestos counting needs special sample treatments, hence it is time consuming and rather expensive. As an alternative, we implemented a deep learning procedure on images directly acquired from the untrea...
