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 ...

Researchers began manipulating laser technologies to use in scientific research long time ago. Which began as abstract exploration of the behavior of light and its interaction with nature, soon turned into ...

Thyroid and Salivary Gland Tumor Detection Salivary gland tumors and thyroid tumors are both considered head and neck cancers, so they are often grouped together when discussing diagnoses or treatments. ...

G-Force  and Training Pilots of Highly Maneuverable Aircraft Gravitational force equivalent or g-force describes the acceleration of a body relative to the acceleration of gravity at the Earth’s ...

Ring laser gyroscopes have come a long way since the first prototypes. The first gyrocompass was co-invented in 1908 by Elmer Sperry, a.k.a “the father of modern navigation technology,” and ...

Wind and rainfall must be closely monitored in many domains including agricultural planning, flight safety, and early warnings of hazardous weather. Wind and rain detection is also important for long-term ...

Goals of Engineering: Precision In many cases, the goal of scientists and engineers is to affect some change in the world we live in via a rigorous understanding of the characteristics of some process or ...

High Resolution Microscopy Image quality in high-resolution optical microscopy is predominately restricted by the diffraction limit– a fundamental consequence of using lenses.  High-resolution ...

The history of glass making can be traced back to at least 3600 BC, perhaps accidentally created from slags of metal-working processes. Since then this transparent material has provided us with beautiful ...
