High Speed Camera Used In Space Adapted To Scan Skin Cells

The European Space Agency (ESA) is adapting a high-speed camera used to scan vegetation from space to spot changes in human skin cells to help diagnose skin diseases. Proba-V (v is for vegetation) is a mini satellite for vegetation-scanning and has an advanced digital infrared sensor used to map land cover and vegetation growth every two days. But today, researchers from ESA say they can adapt the technology for non-space applications. The specialized sensor was made in partnership with the Belgium company, Xenics.
