Fig. 5: Real-time identification and biomechanical analysis of aggregates using SDM and IC-LINA.

The IC-LINA model detects in real time the presence of aggregates solely from label-free brightfield images, eliminating the need for fluorescence imaging to localize aggregates. Here, the fluorescence image serves as a ground truth to validate aggregate presence. Autonomously-triggered Brillouin microscopy enables detailed biomechanical analysis at identified locations. Images are representative of experiments conducted more than three independent times. Scale bars: 5 µm.
