 It contains two relevant scripts:
 - `check_training_data.py`, which visualizes the training data and annotations in napari.
 - `train_distance_unet.py`, which trains the 3D U-Net.
+- `train_micro_sam.py`, which fine-tunes a micro-sam model on the data.
 
 Both scripts accept the argument `-i /path/to/data`, to specify the root folder with the training data. For example, run `python train_distance_unet.py -i /path/to/data` for training. The scripts will consider all tif files in the sub-folders of the root folder for training.

 The training script will save the trained model in `checkpoints/cochlea_distance_unet_<CURRENT_DATE>`, e.g. `checkpoints/cochlea_distance_unet_20250115`.
 For further options for the scripts run `python check_training_data.py -h` / `python train_distance_unet.py -h`.

+The script `train_micro_sam.py` works similar to the U-Net training script. It saves the finetuned model for annotation with `micro_sam` to `checkpoints/cochlea_micro_sam_<CURRENT_DATE>`.
