Novel Lens Simplifies 3-D Microscopy

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
COLUMBUS, Ohio, March 22, 2011 — A new lens designed by engineers at Ohio State University enables microscopic objects to be seen from nine angles simultaneously to create a 3-D image. 3-D imaging is typically achieved using multiple lenses or cameras that move around an object. The new device is the first single, stationary lens to create microscopic 3-D images by itself. A lens invented at Ohio State University enables microscopes to capture 3-D images of tiny objects.

    machine vision
    Machine vision, also known as computer vision or computer sight, refers to the technology that enables machines, typically computers, to interpret and understand visual information from the world, much like the human visual system. It involves the development and application of algorithms and systems that allow machines to acquire, process, analyze, and make decisions based on visual data. Key aspects of machine vision include: Image acquisition: Machine vision systems use various...
