AI Summary
This article discusses a new processing technique called the AIM algorithm that helps remove noise from optical microscope data in real time. This enhancement allows scientists to track individual molecules with nanometer precision, reducing the impact of external factors such as vibrations or noise, and improving the quality of super-resolution microscope images. The algorithm enables researchers to achieve higher levels of precision in molecular structure measurements, even in less controlled environments.
When trying to measure molecular structures with nanometer precision, every bit of noise shows up in the data: someone walking past the microscope, tiny vibrations in the building and even the traffic outside. A new processing technique removes noise from optical microscope data in real time, allowing scientists to track individual molecules over 10 times more precisely than was possible before.
