What is Urban Farming? Historically, farming developed in rural areas with plentiful amounts of land and resources; however, recently urban farming is on the rise. Urban farming is when cities produce ...

Optical fibers have become an integral part of the telecommunications industry, as well as the photonics market. While silica fibers are most commonly used for such applications, there may be a better ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Fluorescence Microscopy is a Light Microscopy technique that utilizes fluorescence and phosphorescence to capture images of organic or inorganic structures. It is one of the most common instruments in ...
