  1. New 12.2 MP Alvium 1800 USB Camera With Rolling Shutter Sensor And Small Pixel Size 7/30/2020

    Allied Vision adds another USB3 Vision camera with a rolling shutter to the Alvium 1800 series. The Alvium 1800 U-1240 incorporates Sony’s back-illuminated IMX226 CMOS sensor that enables high-quality imaging at 12.2 megapixel and 29 frames per second. Due to the pixel size of 1.85 μm, the camera combines the high image-quality with a small optical format und thus offers a very good price/performance ratio.

  2. New 'Super Light Source' Should Allow Fascinating Insights Into Atoms 7/22/2020

    The 'Gamma Factory initiative' – an international team of scientists – is currently exploring a novel research tool: They propose to develop a source of high-intensity gamma rays using the existing accelerator facilities at CERN.

  3. Photonic Crystal Light Converter 7/22/2020

    Spectroscopy is the use of light to analyze physical objects and biological samples. Different kinds of light can provide different kinds of information. Vacuum ultraviolet light is useful as it can aid people in a broad range of research fields, but generation of that light has been difficult and expensive.

  4. Scientists Boost Stability And Efficiency Of Next-Gen Solar Tech 7/21/2020

    Researchers from the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology Graduate University (OIST) have created next-generation solar modules with high efficiency and good stability. Made using a type of material called perovskites, these solar modules can maintain a high performance for over 2000 hours.

  5. Xenics Introduces The Dione Core 7/13/2020

    The Dione 640 has been announced today as the new long wave infrared (LWIR) core from Xenics, Europe’s leading developer and manufacturer of advanced infrared sensors, cameras and customized imaging solutions from the shortwave infrared (SWIR) to the LWIR realm. Dione 640 is a LWIR thermal imaging core optimized to meet today’s increased demand for smaller size, lower weight and lower power (SWaP). It is a cutting edge LWIR core for the safety and security market as well as industrial applications.

  6. Raptor Launches An HD-SDI Version Of The Owl 1280 VIS-SWIR Camera 7/8/2020

    Raptor Photonics has launched an OEM version of the Owl 1280 with Serial Digital Interface (SDI) connectivity for high sensitivity imaging from 600nm-1700nm. The camera produces uncompressed, mono, progressive scan, digital video output to HD-SDI SMPTE-274M 1080p30 standard. SDI connectivity reduces system complexity, maximizes interface bandwidth, and expands the usable operational range.

  7. Awakening The Echo Of The Atomic Layer To Discover A New And Brighter Light... A High Efficiency Light Conversion Mechanism 7/8/2020

    DGIST joint research team, the tungsten selenide (WSe2) efficient light conversion mechanism, double resonance sum-frequency generation method "found in the expected development of various optical techniques, such as quantum computing, and optical communication, nonlinear optical microscopy analysis

  8. Detecting Hidden Nanostructures By Converting Light Into Sound 7/8/2020

    Researchers at ARCNL have found a way to detect nanostructures buried under many layers of opaque material, using very high frequency sound waves induced by light. Their findings are promising in view of applications in the semiconductor manufacturing industry, such as wafer alignment.

  9. New HD Format Expands The ImageIR® Series 9/19/2019

    InfraTec Presents the Next High-end Infrared Camera for the Mid Infrared Range with the ImageIR® 9500. The special feature of the ImageIR® 9500 is clearly its cooled FPA photon detector. This is based on highly sensitive mercury cadmium telluride (MCT) and has a 16:9 HD format with (1,280 x 720) IR pixels. Due to its high native geometrical resolution, smallest structures on large-scale objects can be analysed in detail. The combination with a high-performance microscopic lens enables the display of structures of up to 1.5 μm in size. Users save valuable time by reducing the number of required single recordings while avoiding geometrical measurement errors.

  10. Clearing 'Visual Noise' To Improve Underwater Vision And Deep Sea Exploration 10/24/2016

    Mankind has long been peering into the depths of the sea. From finding fish to avoiding rocks, the ability to see as far as possible through turbid water has been important for thousands of years.
