An algorithm of spectral unmixing (SU) is presented, allowing the improvement of material classification accuracy based on the low spatial resolution images obtained by multi-pixel energy dispersive x-ray diffraction (EDXRD) systems. The method, which consists of signal subspace identification and endmember extraction, performs well even when the pixel count is rather small. Combined with SU, EDXRD has been utilized for liquid security screening for the first time. The spectra and abundance distributions of endmembers are extracted from the measured data sets corresponding to objects of different material composition, which demonstrates the validity of the proposed method.

Objectives: Multiplex immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence (mIHC/IF) are emerging technologies that can be used to help define complex immunophenotypes in tissue, quantify immune cell subsets, and assess the spatial arrangement of marker expression. mIHC/IF assays require concerted efforts to optimize and validate the multiplex staining protocols prior to their application on slides. The best practice guidelines for staining and validation of mIHC/IF assays across platforms were previously published by this task force.

Advancements in Raman light sheet microscopy have provided a powerful, non-invasive, marker-free method for imaging complex 3D biological structures, such as cell cultures and spheroids. By combining 3D tomograms made by Rayleigh scattering, Raman scattering, and fluorescence detection, this modality captures complementary spatial and molecular data, critical for biomedical research, histology, and drug discovery. Despite its capabilities, Raman light sheet microscopy faces inherent limitations, including low signal intensity, high noise levels, and restricted spatial resolution, which impede the visualization of fine subcellular structures.

Purpose: The color of Papanicolaou-stained specimens is a crucial feature in cytology diagnosis. However, the quantification of color using digital images is challenging due to the variations in the staining process and characteristics of imaging equipment. The dye amount estimation of stained specimens is helpful for quantitatively interpreting the color based on a physical model.

Introduction: Although the widespread use of screening tests and HPV vaccines for squamous cell carcinoma has led to early detection and treatment, effectiveness is limited for cervical adenocarcinoma. Lobular endocervical glandular hyperplasia (LEGH) corresponds to gastric metaplasia, but is regarded as a pathological condition with subtle morphological abnormalities. LEGH is a benign lesion and a precursor to gastric-type adenocarcinoma.

Due to the complexity of samples and the limitations in spatial resolution, the spectra in hyperspectral imaging (HSI) are generally contributed to by multiple components, making univariate analysis ineffective. Although feature extraction methods have been applied, the chemical meaning of the compressed variables is difficult to interpret, limiting their further applications. An unmixing autoencoder (UAE) was developed in this work for the separation of the mixed spectra in HSI.
