A multishot lensless camera in development could aid disease
diagnosis

A new type of imaging that does not require a lens and
uses reconfigurable particle-based masks to take multiple shots of
an object is being developed by researchers at Penn State. The
electric-field directed self-assembling mask technology is expected
to have uses in lower-cost and faster disease diagnosis, the
enhancement of optical microscopy, and may even lead to thinner
cellphone technology.
