With its 108 gigapixel resolution, Memo Jason Cottke“Each pixel size is 1.3 microns – 1000 microns is 1 millimeter.” Learn more about the technology behind the project This creation video was produced by Hirox EuropeLocal branch of the Japanese digital microscope company responsible for both the 10 billion pixel scan and this 100 billion pixel scan required 88 hours of non-stop scans.

Yes, 3D image: but Girl with pearl earringsKnown as “the Mona Lisa of the North,” it may be widely known for its flat representation of pages, screens, posters and t-shirts. After all, it’s a piece of oil on the canvas.

Vermeer achieved surreal effects by not only placing the right colors in the right place, but applying them with the right texture at the right thickness. All of these are replicated in “mega-sized” physical 3D prints, 100 times larger than the original work and 100 times larger than the original work commissioned by Mauritshuis. Who is that girl? Exhibition.

You can perform your own topographical inspection of sections of painting – eyes, lips, turban creases, earrings, and even earring reflections – by clicking the “3D” button at the bottom Scan Display Interface. The nearby exterior reveals much about how Vermeer created this world-famous image, and how it weathered over the past 360 years. Of course, we will not reveal the answer to the longstanding mysteries such as the subject’s identity or the motivations behind her impressive presentation.
