1. Modifications

• This Update has the following new functions:
  • new objective lenses supported: A number of new objective lenses have been added
  • Pretrained Neural Networks for Nuclei and Cell Detection: Pre-trained neural networks are delivered with the software which allow out-of-the-box segmentation and separation of nuclei or cells without any further user training. These neural networks are trained in a very broad way and will work well on many different imaging conditions. They are optimized for fluorescence images. For standard cases the resulting nuclei or cell detection can be used directly for the analysis and for more challenging cases they provide a good starting point for application specific further training.
  • Instance Segmentation: Deep Learning Training and Inference have been extended by instance segmentation capabilities. This means the neural network learns not only the semantic segmentation (foreground and background) and classification but also separation of individual objects. This function can be activated for each individual class as required.
  • Analysis Vizualization Mode: A new license type "Analysis Visualization" is available. With this license, any existing analysis (.sca file) can be displayed and explored. It is even possible to adjust the gating and hence adapt the analysis.
  • Define Well Plate Assistant: New well plate types are now more easily added to the system by a Define Well Plate Assistant. It guides the users through the relevant steps of well plate definition, including selection of the well pattern, A1 calibration, and focus calibration. The flexibility of the established manual definition mask is kept for experienced users and special cases.
