OXFORD, England, Feb. 16, 2010 — By combining off-the-shelf technologies found in standard cameras and digital movie projectors, researchers in England developed a revolutionary way of capturing a high-resolution still image alongside very high-speed video on the same custom-built, solid-state sensor. This new technology could have applications in science, industry and consumer products. Scientists funded by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council (BBSRC) and the British Heart Foundation at the University of Oxford successfully created a tool that will transform many forms of detailed scientific...Read full article

    image
    In optics, an image is the reconstruction of light rays from a source or object when light from that source or object is passed through a system of optics and onto an image forming plane. Light rays passing through an optical system tend to either converge (real image) or diverge (virtual image) to a plane (also called the image plane) in which a visual reproduction of the object is formed. This reconstructed pictorial representation of the object is called an image.
    microscope
    An instrument consisting essentially of a tube 160 mm long, with an objective lens at the distant end and an eyepiece at the near end. The objective forms a real aerial image of the object in the focal plane of the eyepiece where it is observed by the eye. The overall magnifying power is equal to the linear magnification of the objective multiplied by the magnifying power of the eyepiece. The eyepiece can be replaced by a film to photograph the primary image, or a positive or negative relay...
