It can start to reason about what it seems under the microscope. You just need to train it on images and data from microscopes.

Have you looked at cells and tissues under a microscope? There’s patterns upon patterns inside patterns under and over and through other patterns.

There’s no well-labeled dataset for all this because we don’t know everything we are looking at.

Take a neuron. You can stain it so you can tell apart an axon and a dendrite. But if you don’t it’s very possible to miss or mislabel the axon, because unlike the textbook neuron, the axon isn’t always obviously oriented in a way that promotes ID.

And that’s just one example. With more complex samples, you also have a lot of edges which AI models don’t segment very well.

Do you know what loading a sample into a scanning tunneling microscope involves?
