ai can enhance smartphone microscopes into lab-grade devices

Los Angeles: Scientists discover deep learning, a powerful form of artificial intelligence that can identify and enhance the microscopic details in photos taken by smartphones, enabling them to match the quality of images taken in the lab
Grade microscope.
This progress may lead to high
Quality medical diagnostic resources-
Poor areas, otherwise people will not be able to enter high
Researchers at the University of California, Los Angeles, said the final diagnostic technology (UCLA)in the US.
According to a study published in the ACS journal of photons, the technology uses accessories that can be produced cheaply with 3D printers.
\"Using deep learning, we started bridging the image quality gap between cheap phones --
Based on microscope and goldstandard bench-
Use a high-powered top microscope
Aydogan Ozcan, from the University of California, Los Angeles, said.
\"We believe that our approach is widely applicable to other low
For example, the cost microscope system using a cheap lens or camera can be easily replaced with a highend bench-
Top microscope with cost
\"Effective mobile alternatives,\" Ozcan said . \".
The new technology can find many applications in global health, telemedicine and diagnostics, he said.

The researchers first took images of lung tissue samples, blood and Pap smear using a standard laboratory
Grade microscope then use a smartphone with 3D function
Print the microscope attachment.
They then feed the corresponding image pair into a computer system that \"learns\" how to quickly enhance the image of the phone.
