Abstract
Systems and methods for detecting and 3D imaging of cell junctions on a cell layer of a biological structure, such as a blastocyst, are provided. The method can include operating a microscope to view a portion of the biological structure; rotating the biological structure through a set of orientations; capturing, at each orientation, a respective image of a corresponding one of a set of cell layer regions of the cell layer, wherein each cell layer region partly overlaps with at least another cell layer region, thereby obtaining a set of partially overlapping cell layer images; creating a cell layer texture map containing cell junction information from the set of cell layer images; and constructing a 3D image of the cell junctions based on the cell layer texture map and the cell junction information contained therein.
