Laser Micromanufacturing of Medical Devices
Micromanufacturing becomes increasingly important in medical manufacturing where precise tolerances, minimal heat output and miniaturization are critical. Lasers add many benefits to the manufacturing process, such as the ability to remove material... -
An Innovative Dual Perspective for Live Cell Imaging
Although fluorescence microscopy has played an important role in the recent explosive advancements in live cell imaging (LCI), it still presents challenges. Photobleaching and phototoxicity limit repeat measurements. Rendering high-contrast... -
Simplified Data Processing with Drone-based Lidar
Professionals who work in construction, engineering, surveying, or land development have probably either experienced or considered the awesome power of drone-based lidar to improve workflows. As technology transforms these industries, professionals... -
Advances in Fluorescence Microscopy
“I’m terrified of having my head cut open. While surgery doesn’t frighten me, brain surgery really does. There’s a reason that people say, ‘at least it’s not brain surgery.’ Turns out this saying makes me... -
Perovskites Benefit X-ray, Laser and Other Applications of Light Technologies
Perovskites are mainly known for what they bring to the field of solar cells. Researchers from IMO-IMOMEC, an associated laboratory of imec at the University of Hasselt, and colleagues from KU Leuven, UGent and UAntwerpen, are tuning... -
Machine Vision Improves Ice Cream Production
One of Romania’s leading ice cream producers implemented an automated vision solution that can detect badly shaped, broken or stitched-together ice creams and facilitate their fast removal from the production line. With more than 10... -
Components with Strength and Thermal Stability for Autonomous Vehicles
Imagine this: a car traveling at night along a winding country road. No headlights. No hands on the steering wheel. A recipe for disaster? In the future, it might not be, with Light Detection and Ranging systems (lidar) guiding the way. The...
