Announcing CellProfiler 4.2.6 and RunCellpose updates

Hi all, Due to issues with pip installation with CellProfiler on some platforms, we have released a version 4.2.6 with slightly updated dependency pins. If you are using the CellProfiler 4.2.5 application downloaded from our website, there is no need for you to update - 4.2.6 contains no changes to...

Best Practices for Jupyter Notebook

When you are new to the coding world, a lot of new information can be overwhelming. Staying organized might help ease the learning process. This blog post is about simple ways to organize your Jupyter notebooks to make them more reproducible and user-friendly. First, let me begin by introducing the...

Making it easy to share the CRediT on your collaborative research projects

Beth Cimini In the Imaging Platform, we tend to work on a lot of big, complicated projects , with a lot of moving pieces and sometimes collaborators in many countries! This is fantastic for science, but when it comes to writing a paper, it can make just gathering all the information about "who did...

Help! Interpreting image-based profiles

Fernanda Garcia-Fossa & Anne Carpenter In a typical quantitative microscopy experiment, biologists choose fluorescent biomarkers and measure particular features (that is “metrics”) that they hypothesize will be perturbed in their samples. But in image-based profiling, you aim to let the cells tell...

How to export tiles of large histology images in QuPath

Rebecca Senft With slide scanners and other automated, high-throughput microscopes becoming more and more common, it’s important to understand how to work with the large image files they produce. Whole slide file formats (e.g., .mrxs, .svslide, .svs, .vms) are often massive when uncompressed (>40 GB...

Customizing a Model for Fiber Segmentation, Part 4: Analyzing the Results

Melissa Gillis In the final section of this blogpost series, I will discuss some of the benefits and drawbacks of this model and discuss some of the data I acquired from the images. This model was able to successfully segment the images that were not able to be accurately segmented by Pearl’s...

Customizing a Model for Fiber Segmentation, Part 2: Creating an ilastik Model

Melissa Gillis In the first part of this blogpost I described some of the tools I tried to accurately segment collagen IV fibers including, CellProfiler, Cellpose , and Piximi . Unfortunately none of these methods were successful in accurately segmenting the fibers so I decided to develop a machine...
