• Abstract: Microfluidic Live-Cell Imaging yields data on microbial cell factories. However, continuous acquisition is challenging as high-throughput experiments often lack realtime insights, delaying responses to stochastic events. We introduce three components in the Experiment Automation Pipeline for Event-Driven Microscopy to Smart Microfluidic Single-Cell Analysis: a fast, accurate Deep Learning autofocusing method predicting the focus offset, an evaluation of real-time segmentation methods and a realtime data analysis dashboard. Our autofocusing achieves a Mean Absolute Error of 0.0226\textmu m with inference times below 50~ms. Among eleven Deep Learning segmentation methods, Cellpose~3 reached a Panoptic Quality of 93.58\%, while a distance-based method is fastest (121~ms, Panoptic Quality 93.02\%). All six Deep Learning Foundation Models were unsuitable for real-time segmentation.

The SMILE-UHURA challenge addresses the gap in publicly available annotated datasets by providing an annotated dataset of Time-of-Flight angiography acquired with 7T MRI. Dice scores reached up to 0.838 $pm$ 0.066 and 0.716 $pm$ 0.125 on the respective datasets, with an average performance of up to 0.804 $pm$ 0.15.
