VisiTech International' instant Super Resolution Imaging (iSRI) system for Very High Speed Super Resolution Imaging.

生物成像必须满足许多要求，尤其是能够在不损坏活细胞或有机体的情况下对其成像，从而使成像所获得的任何结果都无法使用。与此同时，观察一些最关键的生物过程需要能够看到小于100 nm的东西，这是人类头发直径的1/2000。发生这种微观生物特征的过程可以在1毫秒内发生，也就是1/1000秒内。能够生产出一种生物成像技术，可以观察1/1000秒的生物过程，细节只有人类头发直径的1/2000，而又能使活细胞或有机体继续在体内的行为，这将是生物成像的一项真正的发展，它可能会真正改变我们看待活细胞和有机体的方式。这就是VisiTech计划在这一智能授权应用中开发出一个原型。

Bio-imaging has to meet many requirements, not least the ability to image a living cell ororganism without damaging it to an extent that any results attained from imaging it becomeunusable. At the same time to view some of the most critical biological process' requires anability to see things which are less than 100nm which is 1/2000th the diameter of a humanhair. The processes within which such microscopic biological features take place can happenwithin 1mS, or 1/1000th of a second.To be able to produce a Bio-imaging technique which can view biological processes of1/1000th of a second with the detail of 1/2000th the diameter of a human hair and yet enablethe living cell or organism to carry on behaving as it would in the body would truly be adevelopment in Bio-imaging which could literally change how we look at living cells andorganisms.It is this which VisiTech are proposing to develop a prototype of within this SMART grantapplication.
