India, May 26 -- Researchers from the Department of Biotechnology and Medical Engineering at National Institute of Technology (NIT) Rourkela have developed an AI-enabled autofocusing technology that can improve microscopic imaging for biomedical diagnostic applications. The technology is capable of producing rapid, accurate, and repeatable results with minimal human intervention.

Developed in collaboration with Glowvista Instruments, a startup incubated at NIT Rourkela's Incubator centre (FTBI), the research team has secured a patent titled, "A Method for Autofocusing in Optofluidic Microsystems and Processes" for the technology.

Developed at a cost of Rs 1.20 lakh, in lab-scale testing, the system showed accurate results in detecting A...
