Micropilot

Micropilot automates detection of cells of interest and the initiation of complex microscopy experiments such as three-dimensional multicolor time-lapse imaging and fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) in live cells to support quantitative microscopy and systems biology.

Key Features:

• Automated Cell Detection: Identifies cells of interest within large populations for targeted imaging.
• Automated Initiation of Complex Imaging Experiments: Autonomously launches three-dimensional multicolor time-lapse imaging and fluorescence recovery after photobleaching (FRAP) in live cells upon detection of relevant targets.
• Adaptive Learning Algorithms: Uses advanced algorithms to learn from experimental setups and recognize cells exhibiting specific features.
• Autonomous Imaging Protocol Management: Manages and executes complex imaging protocols without manual intervention.

Scientific Applications:

• Systems Biology Research: Enables detailed statistical analysis of cellular processes to support systems biology studies.
• Enhanced Experimental Efficiency: Increases throughput and reduces time for complex microscopy experiments by automating cell selection and experiment initiation.

Methodology:

Micropilot leverages advanced algorithms to learn from experimental setups and adaptively recognize cells exhibiting specific features, and it autonomously manages complex imaging protocols.
