Computation in microscopy: How computers are changing the way we build and use microscopes

The level of computational power we can currently access, has significantly changed the way we think about, process and interact with microscopy images. In this talk, I will discuss some of our recent computational microscopy and deep learning work, that showcase some of these shifts in the context of pathology and life science research. I will talk about Fourier Ptychographic Microscopy (FPM) – a novel way to collect and process microscopy data that is capable of zeroing out physical aberrations from microscopy images. As a novel way to collect and process microscopy data, FPM can also bring significant workflow advantages to pathology. I will also talk about the use of Deep Learning in image analysis, and point out some of novel and impactful ways it is changing how we deal with image data in pathology and life science research. These surprising findings strongly indicate the need for the redesign of physical microscope systems to enable the next level of AI based image analysis. I will briefly touch on the shape and form that these redesigns might look like.
