Making 3-D imaging 1,000 times better

Post by budda »

Hi,

I saw this article posted on physorg about MIT researchers discovering an improved method of obtaining high resolution 3D scans.
MIT researchers have shown that by exploiting the polarization of light—the physical phenomenon behind polarized sunglasses and most 3-D movie systems—they can increase the resolution of conventional 3-D imaging devices as much as 1,000 times.
The article is linked with further details.

very interesting.
This one is also interesting.

"That wavelength range would be sufficient for a system that could resolve 50-micrometer surface profile features, even when the target is tens of meters away," said study co-author Adair Gerke, a Ph.D. student in Chang-Hasnain's group.
Moreover, the period of the sweeping cycle can be as short as a few hundred nanoseconds, enabling several million sweeps per second. This speedy sweeping rate enables 3D image capture for real-time videos and visualization of depth change.

Ready for real time atomic force microscopy? :woot

I wonder what they could with this tool in order to build up matter like IBM did years ago with their atomic movie.
