Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute of Troy, N.Y., has licensed its adaptive scanning optical microscope technology to Thorlabs Inc. The Newton, N.J., company plans to bring the technology to market as a benchtop instrument for biological laboratories and microrobotics research.

The device enables viewing large areas of a sample while maintaining high image resolution. It automates laboratory tasks, particularly in the areas of medical diagnostics and drug discovery, and has potential applications in industrial inspection. Researchers at the institute’s Center for Automation Technologies and Systems invented the device, partly with funding from the National Science Foundation based in Arlington, Va.

Glossary
nano
An SI prefix meaning one billionth (10-9). Nano can also be used to indicate the study of atoms, molecules and other structures and particles on the nanometer scale. Nano-optics (also referred to as nanophotonics), for example, is the study of how light and light-matter interactions behave on the nanometer scale. See nanophotonics.
photonics
The technology of generating and harnessing light and other forms of radiant energy whose quantum unit is the photon. The science includes light emission, transmission, deflection, amplification and detection by optical components and instruments, lasers and other light sources, fiber optics, electro-optical instrumentation, related hardware and electronics, and sophisticated systems. The range of applications of photonics extends from energy generation to detection to communications and...
