What are thin-film coatings? The purpose of any optical thin-film coating is to modify the transmittance and reflectance properties of the substrate material to which they are applied. Most coatings...

The optical materials selected for an optical system depend upon the application, the required system performance and the environment in which the system is to perform; thus the materials’...

Single-crystal sapphire has been the material of choice for defense and other applications that require extremely durable optics, but aluminum oxynitride (ALON) and magnesium aluminate (spinel) have...

Aspheric surfaces are powerful tools that combine the optical corrections of multiple lenses into a single element (Figure 1) and affect performance in ways that spherical optics cannot. For example,...

Overview of Rapid Automated Modular Microscope.

Development and production of a miniaturized camera with maximum resolution and flexibility. The dimensions of the components that enter the body are said to be as low as possible in order to shorten...

Finding the ideal ultra-fast laser source for a multiphoton imaging setup is not trivial. It is a fine balance between peak power, pulse energy and laser wavelength. In this white paper we show that...

Tracking particles at the micro or nanoscale is inherently difficult due to the complexity of the systems studied, as well as the technical challenges: a blend of instrument design, photonics,...
