A new microscope inspired by Keplerian telescopes, named 'QIScope,' can detect extremely low levels of light emitted by biological cells.
The device's sensitive camera allows for observing delicate biostructures in greater detail and over longer periods without causing damage.
Researchers integrated a quantum image sensor to improve bioluminescence imaging resolution using an unconventional optical microscope design.
The 'telescope-within-a-microscope' design reduces image size while maintaining field-of-view, leading to crisper images and potential applications in studying biological systems.
