Where this comes from

Abstract

We dream of a future where light microscopes have new capabilities: language-guided image acquisition, automatic image analysis based on extensive prior training from biologist experts, and language-guided image analysis for custom analyses. Most capabilities have reached the proof-of-principle stage, but implementation would be accelerated by efforts to gather appropriate training sets and make user-friendly interfaces.
