BioNuclei · open scientific software

See the nuclei.
Measure what matters.

BioNuclei turns fluorescence microscopy into an inspectable nuclear analysis. Upload supported imaging data in the Analyzer; the released workflow segments nuclei, derives measurements, lets you explore the returned evidence, and packages a reproducible report.

What it does

One focused workflow, now inspectable.

BioNuclei remains intentionally narrow: nuclear instance segmentation and quantitative measurements for fluorescence bioimaging, with an interactive review layer inspired by proven bioimage-analysis workflows.

01 · Input

ND2 or TIFF

Use supported Nikon ND2 or TIFF microscopy data. Multidimensional ND2 selections are recorded explicitly.

02 · AI

Boundary U-Net

A convolutional segmentation model predicts background, nuclear interior, and boundary information.

03 · Result

Nuclei + measurements

Get labelled nuclear instances, geometric and intensity measurements, visual overlays, structured results, and provenance.

Interactive review

Do not stop at the mask.

A completed analysis can be explored in the Analyzer through a measurement-aware viewer, per-nucleus table, spatial ROI summary and quantitative heatmap controls.

Viewer

Inspect the analyzed overlay and segmentation mask before interpreting measurements.

Objects

Work with explicit per-nucleus instances and centroids rather than a single aggregate count.

Measurements

Review area, circularity, eccentricity, fluorescence intensity and centroid coordinates.

Spatial review

Draw a temporary ROI and inspect the nuclei and summary statistics inside it.

Prediction → instances → measurements → review.

The interactive layer does not replace the scientific pipeline. It exposes its outputs so a scientist can inspect what was actually computed.

The model

AI predicts. Scientific code measures.

The current scientific model is a compact Boundary U-Net. The adaptive layer can inspect the acquisition and route a validated workflow; it does not silently change the model weights.

MeasurementsArea, centroid, bounding box and derived reports.
No online training: the normal user-analysis path performs inference with the configured checkpoint. An uploaded image does not update model weights.
Adaptive analysis

Agents help the workflow adapt without replacing evidence.

Intelligent routing and specialist review can reduce manual setup while numerical results remain attributable to the segmentation and measurement code.

AGENT 01

Input reviewer

Reads format, dimensions, dtype, intensity statistics, and acquisition metadata.

AGENT 02

Workflow planner

Selects only an analysis profile that is actually available and validated.

AGENT 03

Quality reviewer

Flags measurable input problems and interprets segmentation evidence conservatively.

AGENT 04

Report writer

Explains what ran, what was measured, what warnings occurred, and what files were produced.

Scientific boundary: agents route and explain. The CNN predicts. Deterministic BioNuclei code computes measurements.

Your result

Evidence you can inspect.

A completed analysis is packaged so a scientist can inspect the image, explore object-level measurements, review spatial patterns, and trace the computation.

Visual evidence

Analyzed overlay, instance-labelled segmentation, and measurement-aware review.
