Scientists have unveiled a new way to capture ultra-sharp optical images without lenses or painstaking alignment. The ...

Light waves, as they propagate through a medium, experience a temporal delay. This delay can unveil crucial information about the underlying structural and compositional characteristics. Quantitative ...

Light fields, as a form of electromagnetic waves, are characterized by fundamental parameters including intensity, phase, and polarization. Precise imaging of these three parameters is crucial for ...

Cameras may soon see without lenses, and the change could be as profound as the leap from film to digital. A new imaging technology developed at the University of Connecticut promises to rewrite the ...

Imaging technology has transformed how we observe the universe—from mapping distant galaxies with radio telescope arrays to unlocking microscopic details inside living cells. Yet despite decades of ...

Optical computing has emerged as a powerful approach for high-speed and energy-efficient information processing. Diffractive ...

Quantitative phase imaging is a powerful, non-invasive and quantitative microscopy technique that allows multi-scale imaging of cellular systems, explain Mustafa Mir and Gabriel Popescu Imaging by ...

Quantitative phase imaging (QPI), in which changes in parameters such as phase shift or path length reveal key visual information about targets, is potentially a valuable technique in biomedical and ...

Thyroid cancer is the most common endocrine cancer, affecting more people each year as detection rates continue to rise.

Quantitative phase imaging (QPI) is a cutting-edge optical technique that reveals variations in optical path length as light moves through biological samples, materials, and other transparent ...
