BEIJING, May 26 (Xinhua) — Researchers have recently made a major breakthrough in the field of bionic vision, paving a new path for microscopic observation and high-end instrument development.
The study, a collaboration between the University of Shanghai for Science and Technology and Duke University in the United States, was published in the journal Science Advances on Thursday.
Inspired by insect compound eyes, scientists have previously developed various imaging systems using microlens arrays and sensors, achieving initial applications.
However, traditional bionic compound-eye systems have long faced limitations due to their complex 3D structures and restricted spatial resolution, resulting in blurry imaging.
“We aim not only to let bionic vision systems ‘see’ the world…
