Abstract
Disclosed herein are methods and apparatus for obtaining at least one non-birefringence image and at least one birefringence image of a stained sample, and classifying regions of the stained sample into a plurality of classes based on the at least one non-birefringence image and the at least one birefringence image.
Claims26
A method, comprising:
- obtaining at least one non-birefringence image and at least one birefringence image of a stained sample, and classifying regions of the stained sample into a plurality of classes based on the at least one non-birefringence image and the at least one birefringence image.
An apparatus, comprising:
- a microscope imaging system configured to obtain one or more non-birefringence images and one or more birefringence images of a stained sample;
- and
- an electronic processor coupled to the imaging system and configured to receive information about one or more stains in the stained sample and to classify regions of the sample into a plurality of classes based on information derived from the non-birefringence images and the birefringence images.
