Inexpensive Detector Sees the Invisible, In Color
An inexpensive detector developed by a NASA-led team can now see invisible infrared light in a range of "colors," or wavelengths. The detector, called a Quantum Well Infrared Photodetector (QWIP) array, was the world's largest (one million-pixel) infrared array when the project was announced in March 2003.
At long last NASA has developed something that can see in that elusive area of the EM spectrum - infrared in the mind boggingly high and unheard of resolution of 1 mexapixel. What next? Freeze Dried Ice Cream? or A dumb joke at 3:31am in the morning so sue me!
What next after that? Sugar free Freeze Dried Ice Cream?
