Transforming Microscopy from Manual Observation to Autonomous Discovery.

Welcome to AEcroscoPy! AEcroscoPy is a Python-based ecosystem designed to bridge the gap between complex experimental design and microscope execution, providing researchers with the tools and tutorials needed to translate high-level experiment plans into executable Python programs, enabling a new era of automated and autonomous microscopy.

From Automation to True Autonomy

While automated experiments leverage robotics and software to perform repetitive tasks with precision, autonomous experiments go a step further. By integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML), autonomous systems don’t just follow a script—they analyze data in real-time, make informed decisions, and optimize parameters on the fly.

The Power of Agentic AI

We are pushing the boundaries of what’s possible by introducing LLM-powered agentic AI into the AEcroscoPy framework. This allows researchers to interact with their experiments using natural language and high-level reasoning.
