German engineers 3D-printed a camera that’s smaller than a grain of salt

Tom Johnson
FYI.  I wish, though, they would have told us how this thing is going to be powered.  Still, image a one or multiple of these embedded in the bill of a cap capturing, real time, a 180-degree vid.

Amazing. Would seem to have major medical applications. Like involving stents.

Re: German engineers 3D-printed a camera that’s smaller than a grain of salt

Gillian Densmore
Here I am thinking of both directions as a youngling I had (then) rough idea of a doodad  could somehow make kind of a spirite of leaves or pens or what ever. So as that the "sprite" was in a  glassball somehow, and take that with you.
I also had a dream of being able to do astronomy without neeading a telescome. Something like this might be able to do that.

This might be able to do astronomy without needing a telescope, get enough light  and put in a room.

Sort of a GoPro for flies?   Not that they need it.   That shouldn't stop us.

Yeah, what if we glued one of these on the back of flies or, better yet, bees?

They aren't describing the actual imaging A/D conversion... it i just a lense set coupled with a fiber-optic... capture and reduction is a project left to the student downstream.   I'm not clear (and they dont indicate) how they actually get the opticil fidelity from a 3D printer since they tend to (exclusively) be voxelated.   Perhaps a modified fresnel would make sense, but otherwise, the pointis to make lenses with spherical to parabolic cross sections, not stepped samples of same?

FYI.  I wish, though, they would have told us how this thing is going to be powered.  Still, image a one or multiple of these embedded in the bill of a cap capturing, real time, a 180-degree vid.
