Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality are two technologies that are becoming commonplace in the modern world. Virtual Reality is defined as an immersive technology where the user is blocked off from the ...

Light detectors, also known as photodetectors are common not just in labs, but in our everyday appliances. From automatic doors to video cameras, photodetectors are established technologies that help make ...

Sub-nanometer imaging is desired over a range of different fields with uses from profiling thin films to investigating biological materials. In this blog post we will explore some of the methods for ...

This is an extension on our prior blog post “Prisms: A General Overview” that can be found here. In this post, we will include a further discussion of various commonly used nondispersive prism ...

Attempts at solar-pumped lasers have been reported since 1963. This is unsurprising, as it mirrors the timeline for when the modern environmental movement was gaining traction worldwide, but especially in ...

The cornea protects the eye from debris and germs from the environment and accounts for roughly two-thirds of the eye’s focusing power. Corneal imaging is critical in diagnosing and determining treatment ...

Overview Individual component materials affect much of the behavior of optical systems. Metamaterial components are no different. While silica-based glass lenses, prisms, and beamsplitters might be the ...

Lattice Light Sheet Microscopy (LLSM) is a variant of conventional Light Sheet Microscopy (LSM). In short, LLSM utilizes a lattice of light beams to image a specimen. While LSM techniques illuminate single ...

The advent of the semiconductors as it pertains to electronics has been nothing short of revolutionary. Specifically, semiconductors have enabled the processing of large amounts of data in smaller devices. ...

Light Sheet Microscopy (LSM), a.k.a. single plane illumination microscopy (SPIM), is a technique that allows for high resolution imaging of very small structures. This makes it one of the most popular ...
