A Look At GeoXO, NOAA's Next Weather Satellite

Scheduled for launch in the early 2030s, GeoXO is intended as an upgrade to NOAA’s current GOES-R of weather satellites, with an anticipated lifetime through 2055.

SPOTLIGHT ON HIGH-SPEED & SCIENTIFIC CAMERAS

Camera Systems For Deep Learning In Medical And Life Sciences

Deep learning algorithms already support medical imaging in many application areas, such as the classification of mammography examinations, prostate segmentation, segmentation of lesions in the brain, and respiratory tract segmentation.

Using SWIR For OCT High Resolution Imaging In Tissue

By using the 1.05 µm central wavelength, instrumentation companies are developing systems to image deeper through the retina into the blood vessel layer to diagnose eye diseases and monitor treatment.

Speed Up Industrial Camera Manufacturing With Active Alignment

Learn about the process of active optical alignment with a close look at an evolving sensor positioning system that can help increase production volumes and maintain product consistency.

Imaging Venus With A Scientific SWIR Camera

German researcher Dr. Sebastian Voltmer has been looking at the inner planet Venus as a ring next to the sun and how the crescent is getting bigger. According to Dr. Voltmer, the cooled Ninox 640 II SWIR camera provided a much improved signal-to-noise ratio.
