Mantis Shrimp Eyes: Incredible Vision Decoded for Imaging Technologies & Early Cancer Detection

Mantis shrimp -aggressive, predatory sea crustaceans - have among the most sophisticated vision of all animals. A group of researchers, including Viktor Gruev, PhD, is recreating that vision to make specialized sensors and cameras that could bring more precision to biomedical imaging. Mantis shrimp eyes have extra sensors that allows them to see polarized light. Inspired by the mantis shrimp's superior eyesight, researchers are building polarization cameras that could be used to help diagnose and remove cancerous tumors. At Washington University, Spencer Lake, PhD is using a polarization camera for studying ligaments. Lake is making strides toward improving ACL and PCL reconstruction surgeries.

excellant video .

[@bunnyviperaquatics2108]

Red, blue, and YELLOW are the three primary colors. Secondary colors come from mixing primaries together. Red+blue=purple, blue+yellow=green, red+ yellow = orange.

Red blue and green are the primary colours. Those are the colours our eyes are senitive too.

[@MrMic-kp3ww]

Great idea! I want such a camera!

[@ohshucks7156]

Their eyes work like a live scope

[@thr33rayriley90]

Awesome...I'm gonna do a song base on the MANTESIS SHRIMP 💯

[@ShawnD1012]

@Thr33RayRiley How did the song come out?

[@thr33rayriley90]

@@ShawnD1012 that's so funny 🤣🤣🤣 I was f up when I type this and don't remember saying this 🤣💯 but regardless the mantis shrimp packs a punch 👊 POW 🤣🤣🤣 I make music tho click the channel straight 🔥🔥🔥apperation it

[@cjbona1]

Omg lol

[@jamesworley9888]

This is like watching flat Earth news but it's still interesting to see an outdated video on UA-cam because it creates a sense of wonder in what we may not actually be able to see!!!!

[@tripjet999]

"Green" is NOT a primary color.

[@kingkhanofficial-wn3sb]

it is in the light (additive) color model (rgb)

[@NaturalExplorerNZ]

Painful narration

[@KevinRedder]

Yeah. Can't finish the video.
