Microscopy Methods Combine to Detect Treatment-Resistant Cancer Cells
Microscopy Methods Combine to Detect Treatment-Resistant Cancer Cells
Therapy-induced senescent (TIS) cells are cancer cells that become resistant to therapies and enter a dormant stage. To provide insight into how TIS cells evolve, it is crucial to develop simple, reproducible methods to study the onset and progression of these cells in human cancer cell cultures. An international team from Johns Hopkins University and Italy’s Politecnico di Milano, Fondazione Istituto Nazionale dei Tumori, and Consiglio Nazionale delle Ricerche developed a noninvasive, multimodal imaging technique to allow early identification of TIS cells. The new technique could improve clinical outcomes by enabling more comprehensive research into treatment resistance in cancer cells.

LC Optics Support High-Performing VR Display in Compact Device
Virtual reality (VR) and mixed reality (MR) devices are used to access applications in a growing number of fields, from entertainment to health care to manufacturing to tourism. These applications are transforming the way that people perceive and interact with digital information, and they underscore the need for near-eye displays that are both functional and comfortable for long-term use and wear. Researchers at the University of Central Florida, the College of Optics and Photonics (CREOL), are working to improve the user’s experience with VR and MR by developing a way to make these devices both comfortable and high-performing.

Advancing and Extending the Spectral Range for Imaging in Fluorescence Microscopy Advancing and Extending the Spectral Range for Imaging in Fluorescence Microscopy
Wed, Oct 18, 2023 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM EDT
This presentation discusses the advances in fluorescence illumination and detection in biological microscopy, expanding research capabilities from visible to SWIR spectral ranges. New versatile light sources and an innovative InGaAs camera system enable precise excitation and imaging of fluorophores in biomedical applications, including in vivo and intra-vital microscopy. The incorporation of NIR and SWIR wavelengths allows visualization of previously unseen features with deeper imaging capabilities. The X-Cite® light sources deliver high excitation power across UV, VIS, and NIR, while the PCO® InGaAs camera ensures seamless imaging, making them essential tools for advanced biomedical research.

A Behind-the-Scenes Look at Creating Quality Parts Using Laser Welding A Behind-the-Scenes Look at Creating Quality Parts Using Laser Welding
Tue, Oct 31, 2023 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM EDT
To create successful welds, many parameters must be kept within specifications, including laser power at the workpiece, beam quality, focal plane, hitting the seam, cleanliness of parts, gap between parts, welding speed, and machine accuracy. Some parameters need to be checked pre-processing to avoid scrap. Others should be measured during the process to avoid failures. In this webinar, Ophir and Lessmüller join forces to offer a full picture of the measurements needed during the laser welding process. Presented by Ophir and Lessmüller Lasertechnik.
