Lattice Light Sheet Microscopy: Fundamentals and Embryonic Imaging
Lattice Light Sheet Microscopy: Fundamentals and Embryonic Imaging
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 ...
Hyperspectral Imaging for Thyroid and Salivary Gland Tumor Detection
Hyperspectral Imaging for Thyroid and Salivary Gland Tumor Detection
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. ...
Ring Laser Gyroscopes for Inertial Navigation and Transportation Systems
Ring Laser Gyroscopes for Inertial Navigation and Transportation Systems
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 ...
In Ovo Spectroscopy for Chicken Egg Sex Determination
In Ovo Spectroscopy for Chicken Egg Sex Determination
In ovo spectroscopy is an emerging technology for the welfare of baby chicks. In the egg industry male chicks are considered flaws in production. Egg laying breeds do not grow enough meat for production, ...
LADAR (Laser Radar Systems) for 3-D Active Detection
LADAR (Laser Radar Systems) for 3-D Active Detection
The first radar systems were developed in 1935 by the German military. The term RADAR (Radio Detection And Ranging) was coined in 1940 by the U.S. navy. It was used during WWII to detect missiles, ships, ...
Surface Plasmon Resonance: Smartphone Senses Temperature
Surface Plasmon Resonance: Smartphone Senses Temperature
Introducing Surface Plasmon Resonance Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) is an optical detection technique commonly used to study biomolecular interactions. SPR is highly-sensitive to changes in the ...
Semiconductor Nanowire Photodetectors and Lasers
Semiconductor Nanowire Photodetectors and Lasers
Nanowires are truly one-dimensional structures that are long in one direction and short on the lateral dimension. This dimensional reduction gives rise to interesting new phenomena such as quantized ...
Variable-Focus Adaptive Lenses for Presbyopia Correction
Variable-Focus Adaptive Lenses for Presbyopia Correction
Introduction to Presbyopia As we grow older the lens of the eye becomes much more rigid, hindering the ability to properly focus light onto the retina. This condition, presbyopia, affects approximately two ...
Beam Profiling Systems and Their Applications
Beam Profiling Systems and Their Applications
Beam profiling systems are an essential technology to ensure the quality and uniformity of lasers. Beam profilers measure the optical spatial intensity of an input laser beam,  providing information about ...
