FROM THE EDITOR

How Hyperspectral Imaging Is Detecting Disasters On Earth

Hyperspectral satellites analyze Earth's chemical fingerprints from space, enabling crop protection, mineral discovery, and environmental monitoring to combat pollution and climate change impacts.

SPOTLIGHT ON DETECTORS & IMAGING

Using Different Illumination Sources? Get Ready To Change Your Lens Focus

Using a visible corrected lens with monochromatic wavelength sources can be problematic if proper steps are not taken to understand the elements impacting lens performance.

Utilizing Fluorescence Filters For Microscopy And Imaging

Because image quality is highly dependent on the design and overall performance of the fluorescence filters, optical filter performance is just as important to the final image as sample preparation.

Using Optical Filters To Measure Earth From A Different Perspective

Explore how optical filters revolutionize Earth observation, enhancing our understanding of natural phenomena and driving the commercialization of space exploration.

Quantum Sensing With Nitrogen Vacancy Centers

A confocal microscope, a photon detector, a microwave source, and a nanopositioning stage can form the foundation of numerous NV center experiments.

Diffraction-Limiting Imaging Performance

Off-the-shelf microscope objectives pose limitations for modern imaging applications. Discover how customized objectives overcome these issues, ensuring high instrument repeatability.
