As proof of the fact that the world's oceans still store countless surprises for researchers, a new discovery puzzled the academic community, when a scientific excursion near New Zealand led to the discovery of a new type of fish that, at first, appeared to have four eyes. Knowing that four-eyed vertebrates are ... |

Scientists have developed a new type of adaptive camera lens, made from microscopic drops of water that are made to vibrate when exposed to high frequency sound waves, and alternate their focus as they move. This should theoretically allow users to capture up to 250 pictures per second with very little energy consump... |

Researchers place the final development stage of the artificial lens that would be able to restore a perfect vision both to short- and long-sighted people 5 years from now. With age, human sight becomes less accurate, mainly due to the fact that the lens of the human eye becomes harder and less flexible. Since ... |

While the iPhone is a superb piece of work, some features, such as the phone's camera, are pretty poor for the standards the device imposes, as a smartphone. However, if you are starting to regret having gone with the iPhone because the camera is poor, think different... a lot more different.The guys at Mobile.B... |

Conventional lenses, no matter how powerful, are only able to magnify light to nearly half of the wavelength, or the so-called diffraction limit. This basically means that the dimensions of optical storing devices or the sizes of the features created on silicon chips are limited to how much focusing power a particula... |

This you gotta see! British dude cleans his closets and finds this old-school slide viewer, right? Not very satisfied with Apple's idea of portable-video, "markrirwin" decided to boost up the image on his iPod nano using the viewer's big-a** lens. He didn't stop there though? Sound was also on the blue... |

The age of trees or fish is not the only one that can be determined through the analysis of specific elements, like growth rings or scales. A radiocarbon dating technique can use special proteins in the crystalline lens of the eye for determining a person's age. The method developed by a team at the University ... |

One day you could say "Hasta la vista, baby!" while zooming in on far-off scenes. Virtual displays could correct vision-impairment, drive holographic control panels and could be even a mean of navigating the Web. A team at the University of Washington could bring to reality this SF technology, operating at microscop... |

If you ask most photographers to name two of the biggest third party lens manufacturers they'll probably say Tamron and Sigma. Both companies offer a wide range of lenses, some of them having pretty much the same specs as their Canon, Nikon and Pentax counterparts and some boasting unique focal lengths and featu... |

The Venus flytrap (Dionaea muscicapula), inhabiting bogs in North and South Carolina (southeastern US) is a carnivorous plant, more known for catching and digesting animal prey (insects and arachnids) with a trap made by the terminal portion of each of the plant's leaves. The mechanism by which the trap shuts is... |

Third party cheap mega zoom lenses are ideal for photographers with limited amounts of cash who prefer having a single solution for their shots. However, some (and by some one should think about the Nikon D40 and D40x) entry-level DSLRs do not have an AF motor for driving the lens. This means that if the lens does no... |

The cataract represents an opacity of the crystallin lens produced by the accumulation of insoluble proteins. A teenager's lens contains 3 % of those proteins, while in a person in his/her 80's it can form 40 % of the proteins. This is the main cause of blurred vision and blindness worldwide. Today, in 10 m... |

90 % of the way we perceive our environment comes through our eyes. We are mainly visual creatures. But modern lifestyle with so many hours spent in front of the TV or the computers monitor is a strenuous task for our eyes. At birth, the greatest danger for the baby is represented by the infections of the cornea or ... |

A newly developed technology could revolutionize most optical devices, making them much more adaptable, yet smaller and cost-effective. The variable liquid lenses and mirrors may one day replace conventional ones in camera phones, for instance, as they have no mechanical parts - thus taking less space - but maintain... |

This is the dream of many: perfect vision without glasses. You wear lenses while sleeping and wake up with perfect vision throughout the day.The technique, called Ortho-K (Orthokeratology), involves wearing special contact lenses while you sleep to fix the curvature of the eye. "Ortho-K is similar to an orthodontist ... |

You want to show off the beauty of your eyes, so you prefer lenses instead of glasses. But this could harm your sight. A research made by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) warns that a rare and severe eye infection, induced by the parasite Acanthamoeba keratitis, is boomed by the use of contact le... |

It has been named "far-field hyperlens." This new magnifying glass is designed to increase the human sight abilities by increasing light's own abilities to image and magnify submicroscopic objects such as the components of biological cells. This is no ordinary lens. The interesting thing about it is the fact th... |

The glass or plastic lenses in your eyeglasses redirect, or bend light into the right direction to focus it when your own eyes are no longer capable of doing so.When looking through a lens that is not fitted to your eye, the image looks distorted to a small angle, exactly like looking at a straw emerged half way in w... |
