Join us at the Long Night of Science to take a look at holographic endoscopy, a cutting-edge tool developed by researchers at Leibniz IPHT and DeepEn GmbH.
Imagine you want to take a picture of something far away or something extremely small - normally you would need a large camera lens or a powerful microscope to see it in detail. Come and see how scientists are now able to perform microscopy and capture high-resolution images of cells with just a single optical fiber - an instrument as thin as a human hair!
Most of us know optical fibers as the technology behind high-speed internet, bringing fast connections to our homes. But did you know that these fibers can also be turned into microscopic imaging instruments? Using holographic displays, researchers are turning optical fibers into tiny cameras, projectors or even microscopes.
When it comes to interacting with living tissue, especially during surgical procedures, size really does matter. Smaller instruments mean less damage and faster recovery. At the Long Night of Science, you will have the opportunity to see the world's thinnest endoscope in action during a live demonstration. Discover how these novel instruments will soon help neuroscientists to better understand the brain and uncover the causes of neurological diseases.
Talk to the DeepEn team about the future of this technology and how it could one day help doctors diagnose and treat diseases. Don't miss this exciting opportunity to see this novel technology up close!
