New Technology Enables Standard Cameras to Produce Hyperspectral Images Faster and at a Lower Cost than Current Options

Caption

The BGU device, developed by four BGU researchers, can repurpose a standard camera for a plethora of applications, including micro-detection of cancer cells or measuring contaminants in water, with close to 100 percent precision. At only a few tens of microns wide, thinner than a human hair, the device is easy to produce, using commonly available materials such as liquid crystal.
