A team of University of Illinois researchers, led by ECE Associate Professor Gabriel Popescu, published their results in the journal Nature Photonics. A new imaging technique uses conventional microscopes and white light to create high-resolution, three-dimensional images of cells and their internal structures. The images are a composite of many cross-sectional images captured by a microscope. Then, a computer uses the theoretical model and compiles the images into a coherent three-dimensional rendering.
