Technology Overview
This novel imaging technique leverages patterns of light to illuminate objects. By measuring the scattered light, it calculates high-resolution images without the need for traditional optical components like lenses. The technique surpasses the Rayleigh criterion for resolution, facilitating imaging in challenging environments such as vacuums or areas with extreme temperatures.
Key Advantages
- Lensless imaging capability
- Exceeds traditional resolution limits
- Suitable for use in harsh environments
- Utilizes Fourier transformations for detailed image reconstruction
Problems Addressed
- Limitations of conventional optical imaging in extreme environments
- Resolution constraints imposed by the Rayleigh criterion
- Need for complex, bulky optical components for high-resolution imaging
Market Applications
- Scientific research requiring high-resolution imaging in vacuums or high temperatures
- Medical imaging, offering an alternative to MRI with potentially less complex equipment
- Industrial inspection in environments unsuitable for traditional imaging technologies
- Security and surveillance in extreme conditions
