13. Measuring The Opacity Of Plastic Tubing With VIS-NIR Transmission Spectroscopy 1/22/2013

    Plastic tubing is available in a variety of opacities ranging from clear to translucent. The transparency of plastic tubing is varied for a number of reasons including providing contrast for visual monitoring of fluid flow, decreasing exposure to ambient light and making the tubing more distinct for machine vision technology. In this application note, VIS-NIR transmission spectroscopy is used to assess the amount of frosting applied to plastic tubing to determine if the tubing meets the required opacity level.

14. Application Note: Nonlinear Microscopy 9/16/2008
    Ultrafast lasers have revolutionized the field of microscopy by enabling new types of nonlinear microscopy techniques. Femtosecond pulse lasers provide the combination of high peak power (1-100 kW) and low average power (10-1000mW) which is ideal for utilizing nonlinear optical processes in scanning laser microscopy (LSM). Here, we describe the two main varieties of nonlinear microscopy: two-photon microscopy, and third-harmonic generation (THG) microscopy. And we show images using these techniques with various types of modelocked fiber lasers. By IMRA America, Inc.

17. Flexible Fluorescence Technical Tip 1/22/2013

    Fluorescence is one of the most beautiful phenomena in nature, as fascinating to us today as it was for early scientists. It occurs throughout nature: gemstones, minerals, chlorophyll and even crude oil residues fluoresce. And though fluorescence began as a field of scientific study, it has evolved and matured into a technique that now enables entire fields of cutting-edge science and medicine.
