An inexpensive portable holographic microscope device
The Rockefeller University
posted on 01/26/2010
Scientists in various fields use digital holographic microscopy for the collection of three-dimensional information about a sample or object of interest. The device used for this type of imaging is potentially expensive because the microscope requires specialized objective lenses and elaborate configuration. As a result, the entire device cannot be easily used in the field.Researchers at The Rockefeller University have developed a holography device that can be attached to any digital camera and convert that camera into a holographic microscope. This attachment is able to perform holographic imaging effectively with high lateral resolution. In addition, this device is battery-operated and features a built-in sample holder, which makes it portable and efficient for field use. Overall, this innovation is a promising tool for holographic imaging studies.
