Lensless camera for nanoscale imaging

Australian and U.S. scientists have developed a lensless camera which uses X-rays to view nanoscale materials and biological specimens. As says one researcher, 'there is no lens involved at all; instead, a computer uses sophisticated algorithms to reconstruct the image.' Future microscopes equipped with these lensless cameras could be used...
