  1. 3D-Printed Camera Small Enough To Be Injected Through a Syringe 7/1/2016

    German scientists have produced a camera, using additive manufacturing with a femtosecond laser printer, capable of building free-form optics. Researchers claim that technology opens possibilities for micro- or nano-optical devices, such as endoscopes and mini-robots with autonomous vision, and paves the way for a “paradigm shift” in medical imaging that could be injected into the body through a syringe.

  2. Varioptic Introduces New Liquid Lens With Increased Operating Temperature Range 5/2/2016

    Varioptic, a Business Unit of Parrot Drones SAS, announces today the availability of a new variable focus liquid lens, with extended operating temperature range, the Arctic 25H series.
