INDUSTRY INSIGHTS

Monitoring Air Quality From Space With SWIR Images

The GHGSat’s microSat circles the Earth every 90 minutes, collecting infrared images. Find out how data from the microSat enables industries to monitor their own carbon dioxide and methane emissions.

Accuracy And Uncertainty... They Are Not The Same

Accuracy is how the measured value compares to the real value. However, the “real” value is fundamentally unknowable. Accuracy is a qualitative term, without a numerical specification.

Single Picometer Steps For Microscopy And Astronomy Applications

Read how Mad City Labs demonstrated the capability to repeatably achieve a one-picometer movement with a piezo nanopositioner, and to accurately resolve that movement.
