Discover how a hair-thin glass fiber can be transformed into a tiny camera or even a microscope, helping neuroscientists better understand how the brain works.

Join us at the Long Night of Science to take a look at holographic endoscopy, a state-of-the-art tool developed by researchers at the Leibniz-IPHT and DeepEn GmbH. 

Imagine you want to take a picture of something far away or something extremely small—normally, you’d need a large camera lens or a powerful microscope to see it in detail. Come see how scientists are now able to perform microscopy and capture high-resolution images of cells using just a single optical fiber—a tool as thin as a human hair!

Most of us know optical fibers as the technology behind high-speed internet, bringing fast connections into our homes. But did you know that these fibers can also be transformed into microscopic imaging tools? Using holographic displays, researchers are turning optical fibers into tiny cameras, projectors, or even microscopes.

When it comes to interacting with living tissue—especially during surgical procedures—size really does matter. Smaller instruments mean less damage and faster recovery. At the Long Night of Science, you’ll have the opportunity to see the world’s thinnest endoscope in action during a live demonstration. Discover how these innovative instruments will soon help neuroscientists better understand the brain and uncover the causes of neurological disorders.

Talk to the DeepEn team about the future of this technology and how it might one day help doctors diagnose and treat diseases. Don’t miss this exciting opportunity to get an up-close look at this innovative technology!
