Devices which display an object's outward appearance

Subcategories

• Cameras & photography - objects for the recording of visual images
• Focusing - changing the image point to change where light rays converge
• Holography - an image recording technique that allows the recorded image to change as the viewer changes their position, creating the illusion that the image is three-dimensional
• Image converters - a program that allows computer images to be converted between different formats, such as JPG, GIF, BMP etc.
• Image sensors - devices that convert optical images into electronic signals
• Image storage - the saving and storage of digital images
• Infrared imaging - recording images that are visible at wavelengths longer than visible light (.74 micrometers)
• Magnetic resonance imaging - or MRI, imaging that uses nuclear magnetic resonance to image nuclei inside a body
• Magneto electrical resistivity imaging technique - combining electrical resistance tomography with with magnetometric resistivity
• Microscopy - using microscopes to see objects smaller than those that can be seen with the human eye, including optical, electron, and scanning probe
• Microwave imaging - imaging that captures electromagnetic waves in the 300 MHz to 300 GHz range
• Motion pictures - a series of images played in succession to give the illusion of movement
• Nuclear imaging - the use of radiopharmaceuticals and external sensors to measure biological processes inside a body
• Optical imaging - the use of photons and lasers to obtain images inside a body
• Radiation imaging - the imaging of radioactive materials and radioactive isotopes
• Radiography - the use of X-Rays to view non-uniformly composed materials
• Stereo vision - seeing from two different viewpoints, usually combined to demonstrate depth
• Tomography - imaging by sections or by sectioning
