科技資訊:科學研究之仿生眼
A retinal implant, or bionic eye, which is powered by light, has been invented by scientists in the United States.
一種受光能驅動的視網膜植入物,也可以叫做是仿生眼,已被美國科學家發明出來。
Implants currently used need to be powered by a battery but the new device uses a special pair of glasses to beam near-infrared light into the eye.
植入物通常需要電池來提供動力以保證使用。但這款新儀器藉助一對特殊眼鏡,將近紅外光線傳送至眼睛。
This powers the implant and sends the information which could help the implant recipient to see.
光能因而可以驅動植入物運轉,並傳導資訊,已到達幫助移植接受者可以視物的目的。
