Today’s blog post is sponsored by Horiba – a leading supplier of analytical and measurement systems. We often like to employ optics and optical systems to see imperfections we normally cannot. Sometimes, ...

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 ...

Two-photon excitation micoscopy (a.k.a. TPEF/ 2PEF) is the most common type of multiphoton fluorescence microscopy. It is a very interesting and useful technique for its ability to lock down on very ...

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 ...

Ultraviolet Doppler Optical Absorption Spectroscopy (UV-DOAS) is a long distance measurement technique used for detecting chemicals in the atmosphere. This technology is important in our modern world where ...

Introduction to Superconductors (Traditional) Superconductivity was first discovered in 1911 by Heike Kamerlingh Onnes when he found Mercury to have an abrupt drop in electrical resistance at a temperature ...

  An Introduction to Nanophotonics: Something Big from Something Small In recent years there has been a lot of work with nanophotonics in optical physics and engineering. This is a part of the rising ...

Introduction to Elastography Elastography is a type of imaging modality that provides information on the elastic properties and stiffness of the tissue being reviewed based on spatial distribution. It is ...

Nitrogen vacancy centers in diamond are an exciting platform to build very accurate sensors. These vacancy centers provide very precise energy levels that can be influenced and controlled by various ...

Quantum dots, sometimes referred to as semiconductor nanocrystals, are an exciting emerging technology that we have covered previously on our blog. Quantum dots are artificial nanoparticles (on the order ...
