Imaging through a light-scattering medium, such as clouds in the sky or tissues in the body, poses special challenges. The scattered light must be reconstructed, typically by using complex optical...

A high-throughput metrology technique for semiconductor manufacturing, developed by Samsung Electronics, combines spectroscopy and imaging to measure in-cell uniformity (ICU) and in-wafer uniformity...

Historically, using machine vision to detect both transparent and shiny objects has been an enormous hurdle to overcome. And while 3D-scanning technologies have evolved over the past few years,...

An optical technique for measuring placental blood flow and oxygenation in real time provides information about placental hemodynamics that could aid in the early detection of adverse pregnancy...

In this webinar, Björn Kemper, Ph.D., will introduce quantitative phase imaging (QPI) and digital holographic microscopy (DHM), providing examples and an overview of representative applications...

The World Health Organization recently reported that more than 60% of new cancer cases and 70% of cancer deaths each year occur in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). In this context,...

The interaction between photons and acoustic phonons within materials, first described by Leon Brillouin, has been widely investigated to characterize the mechanical and physical properties of...

Quantitative single-molecule and time-resolved fluorescence techniques offer new insights into many samples from various research areas such as dynamic structural biology; cellular mechanisms driven...

Spectroscopy used to study the concentration, diffusion and Brownian motion of small particles suspended in a fluid by measuring dynamic fluctuations of light that is scattered or fluoresced by the...

Three-photon microscopy is an advanced imaging technique that belongs to the family of multi-photon microscopy methods. It is used in biological and medical research to capture high-resolution images...

The roughness profile shape from which light scattering is expected to occur.
