Astronomy trick enables researchers to capture high-speed, 4D videos of moving organisms
Biomedical engineers at Duke University have developed a computational imaging system that borrows techniques from astronomy to reconstruct 4D videos of freely moving small model organisms, like zebrafish and fruit fly larvae. By using a concave mirror and an array of sensors, researchers were able to rapidly capture the unrestrained movements of animals from dozens of synchronized viewpoints.
