NEW YORK: New viruses, bacteria and antibodies are emerging around the world, and now a team of experts at New York University has developed a brand new holographic imaging method that identifies viruses and antibodies and helps in medical trials.

This research has been done in the background of Code 19 with the help of pure physics. His mentor is Professor David Greer, who says that physics has never been used in such a way that we have actually seen viruses and antibodies sticking to specific grains.
The research is published in the journal Soft Meter and can be improved in just 30 minutes. In the same way, it helps to look for viruses (infections) or antibodies (immunity). Other New York University scientists have also contributed to the study. However, everyone has called it holographic video microscopy or holographic diagnosis.

The most important role in this is played by the ultra-fine pearls which attach to viruses and antibodies by biochemical processes. In this way the pearls spread a little to a billionth of a meter. These changes are then viewed through a hologram.
The hologram system can detect a dozen pearls in a second, meaning that viruses and antibodies can be detected from a thousand pearls in 20 minutes. This system is completely reliable and extremely low cost.
Interestingly, it uses the special tool ‘XSite’ which was invented by David himself. Using this system, different beads are viewed in special visual ways and their holograms are extracted.

It is hoped that this revolutionary technology will play an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of the virus.
