contents Soft X-ray tomography provides detailed structural insight into whole cells but is hindered by experimental artifacts such as the missing wedge and by limited availability of annotated datasets. We present SimAQ, a simulation pipeline that generates realistic yeast phantoms and applies synthetic imaging artifacts to produce paired noisy volumes, sinograms, and reconstructions. We validate our approach by training a neural network primarily on synthetic data and demonstrate effective few-shot and zero-shot transfer learning on real X-ray tomograms. Our model delivers accurate segmentations, enabling quantitative analysis of noisy tomograms without relying on large labeled datasets.
