You don’t always need a lens to see a picture, you can use a pinhole camera instead. A pinhole camera uses a small hole that allows light to pass through to allow your eye to see an image. This was ...

Lenses – they're the heart of every photographer's toolkit, right? But what if you stripped them away completely? The art of capturing images without a lens has been enchanting photographers for ...

Researchers have used the centuries-old idea of pinhole imaging to create a high-performance mid-infrared imaging system without lenses. The new camera can capture extremely clear pictures over a ...

Scientists have developed a lens-free mid-infrared camera using a modern twist on pinhole imaging. The system uses nonlinear crystals to convert infrared light into visible, allowing standard sensors ...

Researchers use laser light to form a tiny “optical pinhole” inside a nonlinear crystal, which also turns the infrared image into a visible image that a traditional silicon-based camera sensor can ...
