Breakthrough 1-pixel camera records holographic video – built at microscopic scale

Four sequential time-lapse images show evolving patterns, with scale bars indicating a length of 2 mm. Time progresses from 0 to 3 seconds.

A team from Kobe University, Japan, and optics researcher Yoneda Naru has unveiled developments in image capture technology: a 1-pixel sensor, capable of recording 3D images (holograms) of moving subjects – even through light scattering media, such as biological tissue.

Holograms are commonly seen today as security features, like those found on passports and banknotes, serving as proof of authenticity. These are typically created using laser-based interference patterns. However, holography means more in the world of scientific imaging.
