| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study attempted to develop an unstained specimen digital staining method for use with autofluorescent images. After determining an autofluorescent image suitable for digital staining, the autofluorescent image and stain image were aligned and digital staining could be implemented using deep learning. However, the study also found that autofluorescence cannot be confirmed for some cell nuclei, proving that further technique improvements will be required in the future.
