Microscope addresses the need for speed

A technology used in projectors can create a high-resolution image 100 times faster than conventional microscopy equipment, which can be too slow to clearly document speedy biological processes. The new confocal microscope, developed at the University of Leicester, addresses the need for rapid-scanning microscopes with no loss in image quality. It bolts onto a regular microscope and projects patterns of light through a system of mirrors onto the microscopic sample. Only light that is precisely in the plane of focus returns along the same path and is reflected by the mirror onto a camera...Read full article

    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...
