Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media, for processing cell images using neural networks. One of the methods includes obtaining data comprising an input image of one or more biological cells illuminated with an optical microscopy technique; processing the data using a stained cell neural network; and processing the one or more stained cell images using a cell characteristic neural network, wherein the cell characteristic neural network has been configured through training to receive the one or more stained cell images and to process the one or more stained cell images to generate a cell characteristic output that characterizes features of the biological cells that are stained in the one or more stained cell images.
