Deep learning-based virtual histology staining using auto-fluorescence of label-free tissue [PDF]

Nature Biomedical Engineering (2019), 2018
Histological analysis of tissue samples is one of the most widely used methods for disease diagnosis. After taking a sample from a patient, it goes through a lengthy and laborious preparation, which stains the tissue to visualize different histological features under a microscope. Here, we demonstrate a label-free approach to create a virtually-stained
