Gigapixel “supercamera” delivers sharp shots
DURHAM, N.C. – The challenge to creating high-pixel imaging lies in the sophistication of the integrated circuits rather than the optics, and now scientists have overcome this hurdle by developing a supercamera that synchronizes 98 microcameras into a single...
Aspheres Deal with Bigger Deviations
Jul 1, 2012 — New tools and the integration of measurement capabilities into design software are helping to solve problems – and scientists in academic and government laboratories are researching tomorrow’s solutions. Aspheres are increasingly used...
‘Supercamera’ Takes Gigapixel Images
DURHAM, N.C., June 20, 2012 — By synchronizing 98 microcameras into a single device, electrical engineers at Duke University and the University of Arizona developed a supercamera that can stitch together images with a resolution of 50 gigapixels, or 50,000 megapixels. Turns out...
Impacting Our Food Supply: Good, Enough
Jun 1, 2012 — Fit to eat and plenty of it are two characteristics universally desired of the food we eat, but they often go unmet around the world. Now, a growing number of technologies rooted in photonics are ripe and ready to support demands for a safe and...
