Short summary
We designed an AI-assisted, and affordable camera, that can be mounted on top of most microscopes (or used as a regular camera) and allows for an automated workflow including image capture, processing and identification of detected objects using artificial neural network to be performed. As this camera runs using a micro-computer and can be powered on a regular power bank, it is ideal to perform microscopy and computer tasks directly on field without the need for an expert to be deployed.
