High-tech camera acts like a bug's eye


Summary:

Researchers have created a digital camera that shows how the insects view the world. This camera can capture a 160-degree-wide field of of view. Tiny domes are covered in 180 micro lenses. This camera can be used in the hospital for the doctors to use them to see inside of the human body. "Nature provides a remarkable diversity of ideas for designs in cameras," said professor John Rogers of the University of Illinois, who worked on the camera.

Opinion:

It is surely amazing that we can create a camera which the insects actually view the world. And I agree with the quote that professor John Rogers made. Nature provides lots of different ideas and designs for the human technology and other things. And I wonder, how did the people knew how the insects view the world. It is really amazing and I wish I could buy one for me. I think it could also be used for the movies.

She was a graduate student in mathematics and statistics in Boston University. In her Facebook page, she was having normal college student life. Today, many people are crying for her death.

Opinion: It is really said. I don't know who made a bomb, but I think we need to find him and get punished by the nation. It is such a horribel thing. In U.S, this kind of thing is really uncommon. I don't know why the person who searched the bomb planned for this, but God will not just let him go like the way he wanted to. I;m feeling sorry for the people who died and injured by the bomb. People will remember the people in Boston and we will not forget about it.
