    In addition, the team has developed a variety of devices in the field of imaging and has the fully independent property rights of these devices, such as noninterference multimodal quantitative phase microscope, commercial digital holographic microscope, lens-free holographic microscope, real-time high-speed structured light color 3D imager, 3D face scanning and recognition system, and coded aperture super-resolution infrared imaging system. Many research results have been applied to well-known enterprises and military industry institutes at home and abroad. The world's first noninterference multimodal quantitative phase microscope developed by us won the Special Commendation Gold Award at the 2022 Geneva International Invention Exhibition (only 2 awards in mainland China), and our miniaturized multimodal quantitative phase microscope in the incubator won the Gold Award at the 2022 First China Optoelectronic Instrument Brand List (only 10 awards in China). A number of technologies are being incubated by the new R&D institute of NJUST Smart Computational Imaging Institute, bringing significant economic and social benefits. Additionally, our research results are of great significance to break the unfavorable situation of relying on imports of high-end optical instruments in China and to promote the transformation and upgrading of the advanced photoelectric imaging technology and instrumentation industry.
