New Microscopy Tech Helps See Inside Living Cells 7 Times Clearer – Interesting Engineering
Researchers from Tokyo University have devised a new way to see inside living cells with seven times greater sensitivity. Read more here.
In order to efficiently see inside translucent living cells, microscope cameras must detect differences in the light passing through parts of the cell known as the phase of the light. The amount of light phase difference that camera image sensors can detect is referred to as the dynamic range and it is this difference that limits today’s sensors.
“To see greater detail using the same image sensor, we must expand the dynamic range so that we can detect smaller phase changes of light,” said in a…
