Automatic visual detection of activated sludge microorganisms based on microscopic phase contrast image optimisation and deep learning.

Journal of microscopy
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...

NeuroQuantify - An image analysis software for detection and quantification of neuron cells and neurite lengths using deep learning.

Journal of neuroscience methods
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...

Deep learning-based segmentation of subcellular organelles in high-resolution phase-contrast images.

Cell structure and function
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...

Machine learning approach for recognition and morphological analysis of isolated astrocytes in phase contrast microscopy.

Scientific reports
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...

Quality Control in the Corneal Bank with Artificial Intelligence: Comparison of a New Deep Learning-based Approach with Conventional Endothelial Cell Counting by the "Rhine-Tec Endothelial Analysis System".

Klinische Monatsblatter fur Augenheilkunde
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...

Label-free deep learning-based species classification of bacteria imaged by phase-contrast microscopy.

PLoS computational biology
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...

DeepSea is an efficient deep-learning model for single-cell segmentation and tracking in time-lapse microscopy.

Cell reports methods
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...

Deep learning for asbestos counting.

Journal of hazardous materials
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...

Investigating the robustness of a deep learning-based method for quantitative phase retrieval from propagation-based x-ray phase contrast measurements under laboratory conditions.

Physics in medicine and biology
Quantitative phase retrieval (QPR) in propagation-based x-ray phase contrast imaging of heterogeneous and structurally complicated objects is challenging under laboratory conditions due to partial spatial coherence and polychromaticity. A deep learni...

Phase Contrast Image Restoration by Formulating Its Imaging Principle and Reversing the Formulation With Deep Neural Networks.

IEEE transactions on medical imaging
Phase contrast microscopy, as a noninvasive imaging technique, has been widely used to monitor the behavior of transparent cells without staining or altering them. Due to the optical principle of the specifically-designed microscope, phase contrast m...
