Edge AI Meets Microscopy
A good microscope allows us to view an entire world that is otherwise invisible to us. But to the untrained eye, this microscopic world can be difficult to understand. What looks like a blur of shapes and colors may actually be a highly organized ecosystem. Without knowing what to look for, a beginner might easily mistake something interesting for a dust particle.

This wouldn’t replace human observers, but would give them extra information so that they can get more out of their time with the microscope.
