Industrial

Scientific microscopes are used for countless purposes; from tissue analysis, through examining forensic evidence, and all the way to deciphering atomic structures. Though their uses vary, their construction shares one essential requirement – a superior micro camera.

The FPV (first-person view) camera allows its user to see remotely controlled operations. It is thus used in remotely-controlled vehicles or crafts, applied in many fields, but heavily used in applications for security and defense. The benefits of using such technology range from security, through affordability, and to manpower consideration. What is an FPV Micro Camera for?

Medical Imaging Cameras have been incorporated into a number of fields. In neurology, they’ve already completely changed neurosurgery and even assist in further exploring the human brain.

Innovation in imaging for aerospace and defense has gone micro. Powerful, yet tiny micro-cameras can now provide unique streaming-video solutions for a wide range of applications requiring highly robust systems for direct visualization under extremely harsh conditions.

Borescopes and Endoscopic cameras. From a bird’s eye view, these may seem similar: a flexible or rigid tube with Chip-on-Tip / CMOS technology. Zooming in, we can appreciate the powerful capabilities they provide for a spectrum of visualization applications -- in aerospace, industrial inspection, defense/security, research, and of course, cutting-edge medicine. Let’s examine some innovations and trends.

We describe a new class of lensless, ultra-miniature computational imagers and image sensors employing special optical phase gratings integrated with CMOS photodetector matrices.

Endoscopes are evolving to minimize infections and the impact of procedures. How can technology help?

Since the dawn of modern medicine, doctors have pursed the use of technology to help them see into the human body...
