Engineers at UC San Diego created a new AI-powered algorithm for microscopy. Called "unrolled blind-SIM" (UBSIM), the technology allows researchers to view super-resolution video of living cells in real time [1]. The study was published in Nature Communications [1][2].
This technique produces images twice as sharp as standard microscopes [1]. It achieves this by processing random light patterns thousands of times faster than previous methods [2]. This speed allows for the observation of dynamic biological processes as they happen [1].
