Abstract

A classifying device for classifying cells in real-time, comprising: as alignment unit configured to align a cell to be classified along the cell's major axis; and a classifying unit configured to classify the aligned cell using a multilayer perceptron, MLP; wherein the MLP classifies the aligned cell based on one or more images of the aligned cell. By executing the classifying device, an improved and efficient cell classification in real-time based on cell images can be provided, while labelling of the cells to be classified can be avoided.
