    Quantification of tumor cells is essential for early cancer detection and progression tracking. Multiple techniques have been devised to detect tumor cells. In addition to conventional laboratory instruments, several biochip-based techniques have been devised for this purpose. Our biochip design incorporates micron-sized immunomagnetic beads and micropad arrays, necessitating automated detection and quantification not only of cells but also of the micropads and immunomagnetic beads. The primary function of the biochip is to simultaneously acquire target cells with distinct antigens. As a readout technique for the biochip, this study devised a digital image processing-based method for quantifying leukemia cells, immunomagnetic beads, and micropads. Images were acquired on the chip using bright-field microscopy with image objectives of 20X and 40X. Conventional image processing methods, machine learning methods, and deep learning methods were used to analyze the images. To quantify targets in the images captured by a bright-field microscope, color- and size-based object recognition and machine learning-based methods were first implemented. Secondly, color- and size-based object detection and object segmentation methods were implemented to detect structures in bright-field optical microscope images acquired from the biochip. Third, segmentation of the minimal residual disease (MRD) using deep learning. Implemented biochip images comprised of leukemic cells, immunomagnetic beads, and micropads. Moreover, mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) are stem cells with the capacity for multilineage differentiation and self-renewal. Estimating the proportion of senescent cells is therefore essential for clinical applications of MSCs. In this study, a self-supervised learning (SSL)-based method for segmenting and quantifying the density of cellular senescence was implemented, which can perform well despite the small size of the labeled dataset.
