Camera detects cancer, termites

Very compactly designed, this camera uses shortwave to take pictures of objects inside the casing in real time without any intervention, at speeds of up to 30 frames per second.

After that, the camera transfers images to a laptop to display images in real time, for surveillance.

This is the invention of scientists at Missouri University of Science and Technology (USA). They can capture everything underneath their surface, to detect errors in equipment, buildings, find contraband, or detect skin problems, such as cancer, burns.

According to Dr. Reza Zoughi of the University of Missouri, this technology in the near future could be bought by many people to serve diverse needs, such as finding errors in materials, the structure of the living environment in space, concrete bridge made of composite materials.

It can help detect and track many skin-related diseases in people, such as cancer or burns, or detect contraband goods that are hidden, like weapons, to reduce the number of passengers not to wait long to check. at the airport. Most simply, people can use this camera to detect termites in the house.
