Glasgow scientists create single-pixel camera for 3D images
Found on BBC News on Friday, 17 May 2013
Their system uses detectors which have a single pixel to sense light instead of the millions of pixels used in the imaging sensors of digital cameras.
"However, digital camera sensors have a very limited sensitivity beyond the spectrum of visible light, whereas a single-pixel detector can easily be made to capture information far beyond the visible, reaching wavelengths from X-ray to TeraHertz."
Sometimes you cannot impress people with the millions of pixels on your sensor.
