Scientists from the faculty of physics at the University of Adam Mickiewicz developed a new method of imaging, the so-called multiplanar imaging. It allows the recovery of information (in this case the image) lost by classic cameras or microscopes.
Classic cameras and camcorders record a sharp image of subjects located at a certain distance from the lens. This value can be changed, as well as the distance range, i.e. “depth of sharpness” in which the objects are located. When the image is magnified, the depth is always limited. As a result, the objects lying at distances smaller and larger than the central object become blurry.
The plane imaging can eliminate this limitation. The use of special, thermal lens allows registering an image with a locally sharpened image of objects lying outside the depth of the used lens.
