A first aspect of the invention relates to an apparatus 100 for genotoxicological screening. The apparatus 100 comprises a processor 114 for analyzing images. The processor 114 is configured to provide an identifier module 115 for identifying target cells in an image and a dynamically modifiable classifier module 116 for classifying the identified cells in accordance with one or more phenotype, such as micronuclei, for example. The processor 114 is also configured to provide a scoring module 117 for assigning respective confidence measurements to the classified cells. Various aspects and embodiments of the invention may be used, for example, to provide for improved reliability and accuracy when performing automated high-throughput screening (HTS) drug assays. |
