How Fast Nano-Focusing & Z-Scanning Mechanisms Advance Life Sciences, Biotech, Laser Processing, & Semiconductors

While linear motors provide long travel ranges, piezo devices can achieve the highest resolution (picometer range) and extremely fast settling (sub-millisecond is feasible). Piezo devices are inherently stiff and can hold a position without power and heat generation and they can be operated in both closed loop and open loop.

Understanding Electron Multiplying Gain
Electron multiplying CCD (EMCCD) cameras can be used to detect very weak signals, which would otherwise be lost within the noise floor of the camera. Using a conventional CCD to detect these very weak signals usually requires both long exposure times and slow readout rates.
Photonic Array Device Assembly
PI’s Fast Multichannel Photonic Alignment (FMPA) technology was introduced in 2016. It quickly amassed prestigious honors like the R&D 100 Award and the Lightwave Innovations Award for its revolutionary ability to perform multiple alignment processes in parallel. Download the case study for the full story.
FLIR Thermal Imaging Cameras Monitor Stress Levels Of Helicopter Pilots
Italian helicopter manufacturer Leonardo wanted a reliable and objective way to measure the stress pilots experience so they would be able to design more functional cockpits and train helicopter pilots more efficiently.
Optical Filters – Color Temperature Orange (CTO) And Color Temperature Blue (CTB)
The class of optical filters used to change the correlated color temperature of a light source is called Color Temperature filters. This article discusses the use of Color Temperature Orange (CTO) And Color Temperature Blue (CTB) filters in particular.
