07.19.23 -- How A Remote Photonic Radar System Accurately Monitors Breathing

Instrumentation companies are developing systems to image deeper into the retina's blood vessel layer (choroid) for diagnosing eye diseases and monitoring treatment, using a 1.05 µm central wavelength.

Miniaturized piezo tubes generate a scanning movement of the optical fiber in scanning fiber endoscopes, providing more image information, new findings in biomedical research, and improved minimally invasive procedures in everyday clinical practice.

Fluorescence-based systems have revolutionized the way organisms, cells, and biomolecules are visualized and detected. However, challenges common to these instruments, such as bleed-through, background autofluorescence, and poor signal-to-noise ratios, can reduce performance. 

Duke University researchers studied viral infection before tissue bonding, investigating how viruses navigate the epithelial space via mucus and the periciliary layer.

Government regulations and health and safety standards shape the entire development process of optical medical devices. Unlike other industries, where design flaws can be fixed post-prototype, limited flexibility exists due to compliance, schedules, and budgets. Familiarize yourself with crucial measurement errors to prevent future setbacks.

qPCR instrument users need high sensitivity and pristine signal clarity to achieve numerous delicate tasks. The right combination of optical filters significantly improves this functionality.

Researchers at Howard Hughes Medical Institute are using Raptor InGaAs cameras to investigate the vast and complex network necessary for an organism to sense and react to the world.

The simultaneous application of PIV and PLIF measurement techniques sheds light on turbulent entrainment, a process that has implications for oil spills, wind farms, and more.
