Advanced image analysis for accelerated scientific research

Reviewing advanced image analysis use cases for microscopy.

Advanced #imageanalysis for #microscopy is accelerating research and development. Analysis of data and systematization are the key to higher efficiency in many fields, and scientific research methods are no exception. We are in the middle of the 4th industrial revolution, with #automation driving many advances, also in science. And science is everywhere. Advanced workflows for your image analysis will allow faster results from your large microscopy data sets without sacrificing quality. In this blog five examples of image analysis for biology research are shortly reviewed. You can get a good picture of how technology contributes to image analysis results and if you want to learn more about a specific example, just click to read a complete case study.

AI-driven automation for 3D analysis of volume electron microscopy imaging

The density distribution of nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) differs across the nuclear membrane

Volume electron microscopy tends to generate images dense with information. To analyze all the cellular and sub-cellular structures in minute detail, automated image analysis powered by deep learning is called for. An AI model was trained using arivis Cloud by ZEISS and then imported into arivis for comprehensive 3D analysis. Sample provided by Anna Steyer and Yannick Schwab, EMBL, Heidelberg, Germany.

AI-powered image segmentation for observing organoid formation

Cell layer nuclei and cell layer bodies in organoid cell layer

To study the role of Wnt Signaling in organoid formation, researchers created an automated pipeline to segment images of organoids, differentiating not only between the lumen and the organoid’s outer layer but also between cell bodies in the organoid cell layer. Statistically relevant experiments can be conducted by scaling up this AI-powered image analysis strategy.

Advanced image analysis facilitates flexible and fast stratification of nuclei

High-intensity foci and micronuclei on a single cell level

This case study demonstrates an automated image analysis workflow that classifies nuclei according to size, signal intensity and DNA damage foci. Advanced technology lies at the basis of the DNA damage analysis pipeline, which is easily scalable for high-content screening for genotoxicity.

Using advanced methods to generate a high-resolution longitudinal study of vesicle trafficking

Video sequence screen capture - Single vesicle tracks examined to ensure correct representation

Vesicles in a cell model were tagged with two vesicular transport markers and observed over time. The images were acquired with the award-winning ZEISS Lattice Lightsheet 7 and analyzed using arivis software. The image analysis pipeline included 3 steps: denoising, Waterdshed-based segmentation and object tracking.
