If you know the tricorder only as an app for your Android phone, here’s a brief description, based on my own observations: The Star Trek tricorder was a multipurpose handheld device used for scanning alien landscapes for signs of life and analyzing scanned data, among other things. Medical tricorders were used by sick bay personnel to noninvasively scan patients to determine what ailed them. The tricorder was (will be?) a pretty amazing tool for the 23rd century but, even in this century, there’s no shortage of astounding discoveries to keep scientists, engineers and...Read full article

    Superresolution refers to the enhancement or improvement of the spatial resolution beyond the conventional limits imposed by the diffraction of light. In the context of imaging, it is a set of techniques and algorithms that aim to achieve higher resolution images than what is traditionally possible using standard imaging systems. In conventional optical microscopy, the resolution is limited by the diffraction of light, a phenomenon described by Ernst Abbe's diffraction limit. This limit sets a...
