51. Why Does High-Resolution Inspection Of Food Products Matter? 10/16/2018

    The presence of any foreign material in food products could be a disastrous outcome for any company. This white paper discusses the use of high-resolution cameras for food inspection and the benefits that it offers over other types of inspections.

52. What Is All The Hype About Resolution And Mega Pixels Anyway? 10/16/2018

    Resolution, in the context of an image sensor, describes the total number of pixels utilized to create an image. The question is then why does pixel count matter? This white paper discusses the importance of resolution and its relevance in camera systems with image sensors.

53. Carbon Nanotubes – Applications And Luminescence-Based Imaging With SWIR Cameras 6/8/2018

    This white paper covers the use and benefits of SWNTs in a wide range of applications. Examples are offered on how cooled scientific SWIR InGaAs cameras are used to enable innovative technologies for luminescence-based imaging of nanotubes.

54. New Technology Makes Aerial Hyperspectral Imaging More Effective, Less Expensive 5/14/2018

    Aerial hyperspectral imaging is an important tool with many applications but has been cumbersome and expensive to use. New technology changes all that.

55. Flourescence Imaging Via Microscope 2/12/2018

    This article explores the use of a SnapShot imager in fluorescence imaging via microscope for the very first time. The imager is both compact and attachable via C-mount to any commercially available light microscope. 

56. Optimizing Workflow For High-Speed Imaging Applications 1/23/2018

    While the images captured by today’s advanced high-speed cameras can be incredible, the high frame rates and pixel resolutions used can generate extreme amounts of data in a short period of time. This makes it imperative to optimize the high-speed imaging workflow for the application at hand.

57. Micromirror TIRF Microscopy: Technique And Applications 11/29/2017

    Micromirror TIRF microscopy is a groundbreaking advancement that offers unprecedented clarity, revolutionizing our understanding of molecular assembly and cellular processes, and propelling biological research forward.

58. Laser Illumination For High-Speed Imaging 5/24/2017

    An incorrect or poorly lit subject affects the image, regardless of camera system quality. Therefore, the illumination source is just as important as the camera's resolution and sensitivity. See how a laser can be used for illumination in these four high-speed imaging application examples.

59. Faster, Smaller Delay Lines Drive OCT Applications Further 5/5/2017

    Optical coherence tomography (OCT) can be used in many medical applications including displaying real-time details of eye diseases, detecting skin cancer, or monitoring heart surgery. The OCT market is set to grow even further over the next few years as the efficiency and effectiveness of imaging improves.

60. High Speed Cameras Aid In Spacecraft And Astronaut Safety For NASA 11/22/2016

    At a lab in New Mexico, A team is assessing this dangerous “space trash” with the use of ultra-high-speed imaging cameras. They fire fake “space trash” no bigger than a pea at things like oxygen tanks and steel cables. Let’s just say it never ends well (everything gets ripped in half), and the scientists can’t even see the projectiles to track them. That’s where Vision Research Phantom cameras, such as the Phantom v711 and Phantom v2512, come in. With the ability to record this astronomical data, these imaging cameras reveal a new level of understanding of the destruction that something like “trash” can cause to a spacecraft or astronaut.
