Visualisations and analyses of cellular and subcellular organelles in biological cells is crucial for the study of cell biology. However, existing imaging methods require the use of exogenous labelling agents, which prevents the long-time assessments of live cells in their native states. Here we propose and experimentally demonstrate three-dimensional segmentation of subcellular organelles in unlabelled live cells, exploiting a 3D U-Net-based architecture. We present the high-precision three-dimensional segmentation of cell membrane, nucleus membrane, nucleoli, and lipid droplets of various cell types. Time-lapse analyses of dynamics of activated immune cells are also analysed using label-free segmentation.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
