‘ Image enhance ’ just flummox a lilliputian more literal , for microscope at least . A team of research worker form UCLA has develop a unexampled sensor and software that turns an optical microscope into a super - resolution imaging equipment .
The new scheme is referred to as “ wavelength scanning pixel super - resolution . ” That sounds rather complex , but it ’s simple enough : a new kind of sensor captures a stack of freestanding images , each at a slightly different wavelength of luminance . Then , software is used to make hero - pixels from the selective information based on the frequency of light that ’s captured .
In the range below , you’re able to see the raw data captured by the sensor on the left hand , and how it looks after it ’s been run through the software on the right .
The approach , which is said to do work on most traditional lens system - based microscopes , provides a resolution of about 250 nanometers across a theater of thought of about an inch . That ’s pretty impressive , and Aydogan Ozcan , one of the researchers , point out in a military press release that he “ can see and inspect great samples with finer details at the sub - micron level . ”
So far the squad has test the technique out on samples of stock cells and cervical smear tests , which also hint at its intended usance . The team reckons the gimmick could be retrofitted to devices where budgets are tight — such as clinic in rise state .
