Abstract
Understanding the complex three-dimensional structure of cells is crucial across many disciplines in biology and especially in neuroscience. Here, we introduce a novel 3D self-supervised learning method designed to address the inherent complexity of quantifying cells in 3D volumes, often in cleared neural tissue. We offer a new 3D mesoSPIM dataset and show that CellSeg3D can match state-of-the-art supervised methods. Our contributions are made accessible through a Python package with full GUI integration in napari.
