Rewrote my Python bioformats wrapper (from aicsimageio/bioio) as a standalone package:

- fully bootstrapped Java setup (just pip install)
- lazy, repeatably-indexable Array object
- fully spec-compliant OME-Zarr group obj.
- xarray/dask exports

I’m pleased to share that I’ve been awarded support from the Royal Society–CNR International Exchanges scheme for a project with colleagues in Italy. We’ll combine advanced optical imaging and AI to better understand how cancer cells store fats using label-free 3D microscopy.

A bit of a terroristic view. Synthetic data isn’t all bad, it has been shown to improve classification algorithms.

🔬🧠 Our paper on smart microscopy & the issue of interoperability! www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... LONG THREAD WARNING: Smart microscopy uses real-time image analysis to automatically guide the acquisition or perturbation of the sample (closed feedback-control loop). Many applications exist:
Figure legend: Categories and capabilities of smart microscopy systems integrating real-time image analysis and feedback control. Top: Smart microscopy workflows can be classified based on the driving logic behind decision-making: Event-driven (reacting to rare biological events), Outcome-driven (using feedback-control to steer biological systems toward a desired state), Quality-driven (optimizing signal quality or imaging metrics), and Information-driven (guided by models that predict which measurements/perturbations will yield the most informative data). Middle: Central feedback loop between the microscope and an image analysis system, which continuously exchanges images and commands to guide acquisition dynamically. Bottom: Key control actions enabled by smart microscopy: adjusting imaging modality (e.g. switching from brightfield to fluorescence, adjusting sampling rate), repositioning the field of view (e.g. tracking, drift correction), optimizing acquisition settings (e.g. adaptive optics), and performing photomanipulation (e.g. FRAP, ablation, optogenetics).
