A NEW method of providing dyes for some of the commoner staining procedures has been developed and tested. A small volume of the required dye solution is prepared according to the appropriate formula.

Kirby’s team used an automated microscope designed to collect high-resolution image data from microscopic slides. In this case, blood samples taken from patients with suspected bloodstream infections ...

Then, slides were prepared by placing a drop of blood on a glass slide and stained with dye to make the bacterial cell structures more visible. Next, they trained a convolutional neural network (CNN) ...
