  ## Uses
26
 
27
+ The model was pre-trained with a heterogenous dataset of microscopy images with the goal of obtaining cell morphology
28
+ embeddings for biological applications.

  ### Direct Use
31
 
32
  <!-- This section is for the model use without fine-tuning or plugging into a larger ecosystem/app. -->
33
 
34
+ The primary use of this model is feature extraction of cellular morphology in image-based biological experiments.
35
+ The model takes single-channel images as input and produces feature vectors with discriminative information of cellular phenotypes.
36
+ The input images should be segmented ahead of time; this model does not identify the location of cells automatically. The feature
37
+ embeddings have been tested in single-cell analysis problems. If the images of interest are multi-channel, each channel can be
38
+ processed independently and then the feature embeddings of all channels are concatenated for downstream applications. The applications
39
+ of the embeddings produced by this model include basic biology research, functional genomics studies, drug discovery projects, among
40
+ others.

  <!-- This section addresses misuse, malicious use, and uses that the model will not work well for. -->
45
 
46
+ This model is not useful for cell segmentation, its primary use is feature extraction only. The model should be use for
47
+ analyzing imaging data in biological laboratories. It is not intented to be use in clinical practice or in diagnostic applications.
48
+ The model should not be used for applications that involve biological weapons, or any other type of biological manipulation that
49
+ could harm humans or the natural environment.
