Are you studying synapses in electron microscopy? Tired of annotating vesicles? We have the tool for you! SynapseNet implements automatic segmentation and analysis of vesicles and other synaptic structures and has now been published: www.molbiolcell.org/doi/full/10....

SynapseNet is a deep learning based software tool that automates the segmentation of vesicles, mitochondria, synaptic compartments, and the active zone. This is visualized in three panels. On the left, a section of an electron tomogram with a synaptic compartment densely filled with vesicles, which appear as round structures with dark boundary and light body in the image, is shwon. The top right panel shows the segmentation result of vesicles, visualized by masks with an individual color per vesicle and outlines for the segmented compartment (red) and active zone (blue). The bottom right panels shows a 3D rendering of the segmentation with vesicles shown as yellow spheres.
