(Phys.org)—Over the past several years, major advances have been made at UCLA in the field of lens-less computational imaging technology, particularly in the design of lens-free holographic microscopes, which, because of their small size, power and flexibility, hold a number of advantages over conventional optical microscopes. In new research, UCLA's Aydogan Ozcan and his colleagues present emerging results for this high-resolution, wide-field on-chip microscopy and describe the challenges the technology faces going forward, shedding light on future directions and applications.
