Segmenting individual cells in microscopy is much easier these days thanks to foundation models. Can we use these models for other tasks, such as cell classification? We investigate in our latest work, finding big improvements for object and pixel classification compared to classical approaches.

New resource for teaching and learning BioImage Analysis, long in the making, from @tischi.bsky.social and friends, incl. @carpentries.carpentries.org. With roots in the material developed for NEUBIAS workshops.

🔬Modern instruments generate vast bioimage data, yet few experts can analyze it. The authors of this new open access paper present here a modular, open-source bioimage analysis training resource, that allows efficient course design and delivery.
