Abstract
Light microscopy is a powerful single-cell technique that allows for quantitative spatial information at subcellular resolution. However, unlike flow cytometry and single-cell sequencing techniques, microscopy has issues achieving high-quality population-wide sample characterization while maintaining high resolution. Here, we present a general framework, data-driven microscopy (DDM) that uses real-time population-wide object characterization to enable data-driven high-fidelity imaging of relevant phenotypes based on the population context. DDM combines data-independent and data-dependent steps to synergistically enhance data acquired using different imaging modalities. As a proof of concept, we develop and apply DDM with plugins for...

Light microscopy is a powerful single-cell technique that allows for quantitative spatial information at subcellular resolution. However, unlike flow cytometry and single-cell sequencing techniques, microscopy has issues achieving high-quality population-wide sample characterization while maintaining high resolution. Here, we present a general framework, data-driven microscopy (DDM) that uses real-time population-wide object characterization to enable data-driven high-fidelity imaging of relevant phenotypes based on the population context. DDM combines data-independent and data-dependent steps to synergistically enhance data acquired using different imaging modalities. As a proof of concept, we develop and apply DDM with plugins for improved high-content screening and live adaptive microscopy for cell migration and infection studies that capture events of interest, rare or common, with high precision and resolution. We propose that DDM can reduce human bias, increase reproducibility, and place single-cell characteristics in the context of the sample population when interpreting microscopy data, leading to an increase in overall data fidelity.
