The short version
- The compact system can be placed inside a standard cell-culture incubator, allowing living cells to be monitored continuously for hours or even days without staining or other labels.
- The research is published in the journal Applied Physics Letters.

What happened
The research is published in the journal Applied Physics Letters . Researchers have developed a new lensless quantitative phase imaging method, called SF-PULSE, which combines an AI-based neural network with physics-informed image reconstruction.
Why it matters
The method is designed for use in a compact imaging system that can operate directly inside a standard cell-culture incubator.
