Lasers: A Unique Microscopy Source The optical microscope dates back to the time of Galileo. For most of the past century, microscopy was widely regarded as a ubiquitous and extremely mature field. Today, the picture is very different. Optical microscopy is an incredibly dynamic field with recent Nobel prizes given for new techniques that overcome the diffraction limit, as well as tools such as new fluorescent proteins that have...
Fiber Optics Crucial to Future Datacom Transmission Fiber optics technology plays a critical role within the telecommunications sector, thanks to the wide-scale and growing adoption of the technology in communication and data transmission services....
Display Manufacturing Enriches High-Tech Products Consumer electronics are growing more sophisticated, at breakneck speed and with remarkable advances in technology and refinement. A highly visible example is the ever-increasing picture clarity in...
EDITORIAL
The picture is clear Superior displays and systems in consumer electronics can nearly transport users into their games, or even into the shark-infested waters of Animal Planet’s “Shark Week.” This is thanks, in part, to the highest-quality lighting sources and display components being developed by more and more companies worldwide. As technology moves toward 4K and even 8K ultrahigh-definition...
