Hybrid Microscopy Method Uses AI to Deliver Robust Images in Seconds HEIDELBERG, Germany, May 12, 2021 — Scientists at the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL) combined AI algorithms with light-field microscopy and light-sheet microscopy. The hybrid, AI-enhanced approach shortened the time needed for image processing — from days to seconds — and ensured that the resulting images were clear and accurate. Light-field microscopy captures large 3D images that allow researchers to track and measure fine movements at high speeds, such as a fish larva’s beating heart.
