Introducing AI Click powered by Segment Anything (SAM) for biological images, on Biodock. We’ve worked hard to make SAM much more useful for bio - read below to find out how!

The key feature on Biodock is the ability to adjust the scale that SAM “sees” your images. Choose a smaller tile size to help SAM detect small objects like cells. Choose a larger size for organoids or tissue regions.

Being able to control this scale is critically important for bio images, where object sizing can vary drastically. We even have an interactive visual guide we overlay on your images to help with sizing.

Another important feature is the ability to order SAM’s predictions by size, depending on what you want. Change to “Smallest” to prioritize small objects like cells and organelles. Choose “Largest”, and you’ll get larger tissue regions and structures from the same click.

It's fast! GPUs work behind the scenes work to prep tiles for SAM in ~1 second on-demand, and fast on-hover inference means you can quickly evaluate choices without even clicking. Keyboard shortcuts to finalize objects makes your workflow easy.

Try it out for free at As always, we’ve updated our docs to provide easy step by step instructions on using SAM to power your image analysis.

Looking at you @ultrafastgrant @UnculturedTy

@ultrafastgrant @UnculturedTy Would love you all to try it out 😀

Awesome! Should it work on z stacks as well?

No 3D yet... definitely something we're looking forward to build!

Awesome. Is it possible to copy a specific image segment, only your cell of interest for example?
