What is the future of microscopes?

Thanks Inna Vishik for the A2A. This answer will focus mainly on transmission electron microscopy rather than optical microscopy, because that is where my knowledge lies. read more

Microscope operations can be scripted to some degree. What we 'll see in the future is the introduction of AI able to control the microscope and perform cycles of scanning and analysis on objects of interest, without the need of human intervention. read more

Some electron microscopes can magnify specimens up to 2 million times, while the best light microscopes are limited to magnifications of 2000 times. There are multiple types of electron microscopy: Cryogenic electron microscopy (CryoEM) is an electron microscopy (EM) technique where the sample is cooled to cryogenic temperatures. read more

I see a future full of personal scanning microscopes. Where"Automated Analysis" and telepathology are easy. Instead of a human spending hours looking into the microscope, the computer does the work and finds solutions — parasitology, oncology, hematology, image cytometry, and so on. read more
