    摘要: A system for performing automated cell screening in drug discovery, includes an automated microscope, a fast autofocus device, and a digital imaging system. Processes are implemented in software through which relevant cellular material is segmented and quantified with minimal user interaction. Improvements in the following areas: known methods for image processing are implemented in such a way that automated segmentation is achieved; sets of known measurements (pixel counting, etc.) are implemented as methods which demonstrate aspects of biology in a reliable fashion; components for automated positioning, focusing, imaging and processing of a multiplicity of samples are integrated as systems within which the segmentation and measurement methods may be mounted; and components and methods are adapted into systems which yield more highly automated and more rapid cell screening.

    摘要: A method of classifying cells into subpopulations using cell classifying data is described. The method comprises receiving and analyzing image data to identify object areas in the image data to determine, for at least one selected first cell, one or more measurements. A first parameter set is derived from the measurements for the first cell, the first parameter set comprising at least one of said one or more measurements. The first set of cells are classified into subpopulations, and identified to produce first identifying data. Cell classifying data for use in classifying a second set of cells into subpopulations is derived from the first parameter set and the first identifying data. A second set of cells is classified into subpopulations on the basis of one or more measurements taken for cells in the second set of cells, by use of the cell classifying data. The parameter sets of cells may be represented as vectors in an n-dimensional space.
