Scientists taught fluorescent microscope to automatically adapt to any sample

An international team of physicists found a new way to improve images obtained by fluorescence microscopy. The method is based on adaptive optics and implies an automatic correction of aberrations. Moreover, this correction is based on the quality of individual pixels, rather than the image as a whole. This helps avoid re-calibration of microscope in case of changing the sample. As a result, microscopy can be significantly accelerated. The results are published in PLОS ONE.
