Automatically identifying regions of interest on images of biological cells

A microscope system comprising:

• a detection unit configured for detecting images of biological cells;
• and
• an analysis unit, wherein the analysis unit is configured for:
• detecting a primary axis in a structure of the biological cell;
• defining a first section line along the detected primary axis,
• detecting at least one secondary axis of the structure of the biological cell;
• defining a second section line along each of the at least one secondary axes;
• based on the second section lines along each of the at least one secondary axes and the first section line along the detected primary axis, dividing a cytoplasm of the cell into a plurality of areas;
• determining a geometric feature for each of the areas;
• selecting one of the areas according to predefined criteria;
• analyzing image data of the selected area and comparing image data with the predefined criteria to identify at least one region that complies with the predefined criteria;
• and
• selecting the at least one region complying with the predefined criteria to a pre-defined degree as a region of interest.
