🔍In the field of microscopic imaging, a resolution revolution is quietly taking place. Breakthroughs in gigapixel microscopy technology now enable scientists to obtain both large field of view and high-resolution images simultaneously, akin to equipping the microscopic world with a "wide-angle HD lens." This technology is redefining the boundaries of microscopic observation with its unique advantages.

Traditional microscopy often presents researchers with a difficult choice when observing specimens: either opt for a large field of view to observe overall structure while sacrificing detail, or choose high resolution to examine local details while losing the overall perspective. Gigapixel microscopy successfully resolves this contradiction through innovative multi-camera array designs and advanced computational imaging algorithms. Taking Duke University's "PANORAMA" system as an example, this technology achieves a breakthrough in maintaining micron-level resolution while obtaining centimeter-level field of view through carefully designed lens arrays and image stitching techniques. The core of this technology lies in real-time fusion of images from multiple cameras, creating seamlessly connected ultra-high resolution panoramic images.
