The word "imaging" is a correct and usable word in written English.
It is an adjective used to describe an imaging process or an imaging device. For example, you can use the sentence: "The doctor performed an imaging scan to assess the patient's condition."
Tap it, and a combination of non-linear adjustment and sharpening produces something that has the feel of being taken by a more expensive camera.And the technique known as high-dynamic range (HDR) imaging combines multiple images taken in rapid succession with different exposures to produce a single composite of extraordinary range of tonality.
The new method, described in an advance online publication in the journal Science, allows for super-resolution imaging with conventional light microscopes.
Boyden and his colleagues used the method to perform super-resolution imaging of a 10 million cubic micrometer chunk of tissue from the mouse hippocampus, stained with antibodies against three different neuronal proteins, using a standard confocal fluorescence microscope.
Conservation scientists from the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam have determined with neutron X-ray imaging that the casts are thick-walled and heavy, which would date them to the late 15th or early 16th century, and an anatomist from the University of Warwick has ruled that the bronzes are of outstanding anatomical accuracy.
But as Dr Morgan points out, the sorts of complex traits, such as impulsive behaviour, that MDMA is thought to produce in people are hard to examine in animal experiments.Improvements in imaging technology, which can show how the brains of Ecstasy users change over time, could help.
Dr Bold expects that, at first, game-players will be the biggest users of 3D screens.Beyond computer games lie serious applications in business software for 3D imaging.
In places, the ink from the original text is no more than a faint stain, so the scientists studying it need a technique that is sensitive to very low concentrations of ink.The answer, they hope, will be X-ray fluorescence imaging.
A team of computer-imaging specialists filmed the creatures, digitised images of their scurrying and teeming, and displayed the images not on a computer monitor, but on see-through goggles.
At altitudes of just a few hundred metres, a blimp carrying 20kg of remote-sensing electronics (including radar and infrared thermal-imaging cameras) can seek out, track and provide images of combatants dozens of kilometres away day or night.
It is a remote-controlled aircraft with a thermal-imaging camera and a laser pointer.
A new brain-imaging test may, however, change that.Nick Ward, of University College, London, and his colleagues, have found a marked difference between the pattern of brain activity displayed by a person pretending to be unable to move a leg, and that displayed by the same person when he is genuinely unable to move his leg.
