Microsnoop: A generalist tool for microscopy image representation.

ABSTRACT: Accurate profiling of microscopy images from small scale to high throughput is an essential procedure in basic and applied biological research. Here, we present Microsnoop, a novel deep learning-based representation tool trained on large-scale microscopy images using masked self-supervised learning. Microsnoop can process various complex and heterogeneous images, and we classified images into three categories: single-cell, full-field, and batch-experiment images. Our benchmark study on 10 high-quality evaluation datasets, containing over 2,230,000 images, demonstrated Microsnoop's robust and state-of-the-art microscopy image representation ability, surpassing existing generalist and even several custom algorithms. Microsnoop can be integrated with other pipelines to perform tasks such as s
