A method of measuring malarial parasitemia includes disposing a sample including red blood cells in liquid form on a sample stage, illuminating the sample with optical radiation, capturing a plurality of images of the sample, and extracting, from the one or more of the plurality of images, a set of red blood cell images. Each red blood cell image is associated with a particular red blood cell. The method also includes for each red blood cell image in the set of red blood cell images, inputting each red blood cell image into a machine learning model and generating, using the machine learning model, a classification related to a malaria parasite lifecycle stage for each of the red blood cells. The method further includes determining the malarial parasitemia for the sample.
