Description of the biological application

Segmenting nuclei in 3D images can be challenging especially when nuclei are clustered not only in XY plane but also in XZ and YZ planes. Manually annotated ground truth provides a reference for image analysis software testing purposes. These images of mouse embryo blastocyst cells also have changing nuclei intensity in Z plane which makes finding the right threshold for successful segmentation a difficult task. This image set also contains GAPDH transcripts that can be quantified in each cell.

Images

Images acquired by using PerkinElmer Ultraview VoX spinning disk microscope combined with a Leica SP8 with a 63x immersion objective (Distance between Z-slices = 0.5 um)
