Cellquant: a vibecoder's guide to image analysis

Abani Neferkara, Leah Chaney Winner, Asif Ali, David Pincus

One Python script, configured through LLM-assisted command-line calls, segments and quantifies 2D/3D multi-channel fluorescence images with provenance records; in a yeast temperature series it exposed a non-responding subpopulation.
