Ferto’s AI microscope starts by controlling the image
Ferto pairs a precision adapter, an iPhone, and AI to automate microscopy diagnostics, beginning with semen analysis.

- Worth noticing
- The proposed setup uses an iPhone and adapter on an existing light microscope, with live frame-quality checks.
Field notes
The proposed workflow mounts an iPhone to a standard light microscope rather than replacing the instrument. Ferto says its app actively selects focus, illumination, and frames, scores image quality on the device, and rejects unusable input before analysis. The initial target is semen analysis, which the page describes as a 30–60-minute manual process. The site also presents annotated cell images, a reviewable count, and an audit trail as part of the analysis output.
