+<h1 style="height: 2em;">Finetuned Cellpose Models <img src="https://www.cellpose.org/static/images/cellpose_transparent.png" alt="cellpose logo"></h1>
+
+This directory contains finetuned scripts for downloading Cellpose models, particularly for use with the `cellpose` package. The models are trained on a variety of cell types from CellMap FIBSEM images, and can be used for segmentation of new data.
+
+## Models
+
+...
+
+## Usage
+
+Once you have chosen a model based on the descriptions above, you can download its weights from the `cellmap-models` repository and use them as described below:
+
+If you would like to load a model for your own use, you can do the following:
+
+```python
+from cellmap_models.cellpose import load_model
+model = load_model('<model_name>')
+```
+
+__If you would like to download and use a Cellpose model with the `cellpose` package or its GUI, do so by following the instructions below.__
+
+First install the `cellpose` package:
+
+```bash
+conda activate cellmap
+pip install cellpose[gui]
+```
+
+Then you can also download model weights from the `cellmap-models` repository and add them to your local `cellpose` model directory. For example, you can run the following commands:
+
+```bash
+cellmap.add_cellpose <model_name>
+```
+
+where `<model_name>` is the name of the model you would like to download, based on the descriptions above. For example, to download the `...
