Histopathological analysis is a common clinical procedure for diagnosing the presence, type, and progression of diseases such as cancer. Histology is a critical tool in medicine for cancer diagnosis. Using biopsy-derived tissue slides, pathologists manually identify the most progressed regions and examine nuclear morphology, among other tissue and cellular properties. However, manual examination and decision-making that may potentially contain millions of cells can be time-consuming and subjective.  Therefore automated histology analysis could have a profound effect on healthcare quality, availability, and cost. 

The size and shape of the cells are important for cancer diagnosis; however, the quality of the image is not clear enough for computer to measure directly.  The edge has to be detected by detection algorithms or by manual delineation.  But these systems are far from clinical acceptance since the automatic detection of edges in images with a low signal-to-noise can be difficult. 

Therefore, one key component which is the histology image quality is missing for automatic diagnosis.   Fortunately, we have developed new micro-image technology to produce high quality image. The automatic diagnosis system can finally be established to the level of clinical acceptance.
