DALSA Corp.'s semiconductor wafer foundry in Bromont, Quebec, has received a $1 million order from an existing foundry customer to manufacture application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs) for the industrial marketplace. ASICs are microchips designed for various applications, from auto emission control to personal digital assistants. The order is to be delivered by the end of 2003; subsequent purchases are expected.   . . .   KARL STORZ, an endoscopy company based in Germany, said it has developed a system that uses autofluorescence/fluorescence for the early diagnosis of lung tumors. The D-LIGHT/AF system was adapted for that use from its current application of detecting urinary bladder carinoma. It was developed in cooperation with the Pneumology Clinic in Gauting; the laser research laboratory at the Urological Clinic, Grosshadern Clinical Center of the Ludwig-Maximilians-University, Munich; and the Medical Clinic, City Center Clinic of the Ludwig-Maximilians-University, Munich.   . . .   The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) has named The Titan Corp. as a recipient of its 2003 IEEE Corporate Innovation Recognition, for its role in developing electron beam technology. Titan's founder, Gene W. Ray, will accept the award on behalf of the company at the annual IEEE honors ceremony, to be held June 21 in Nashville, Tenn.

Glossary
autofluorescence
Autofluorescence refers to the natural emission of fluorescence exhibited by certain biological structures or molecules when exposed to light. Unlike fluorescence that results from the application of external fluorophores or dyes, autofluorescence arises intrinsically from endogenous molecules present in tissues or cells. Key points about autofluorescence: Endogenous emission: Autofluorescence occurs due to the presence of naturally fluorescent molecules within biological samples, such as...
fluorescence
Fluorescence is a type of luminescence, which is the emission of light by a substance that has absorbed light or other electromagnetic radiation. Specifically, fluorescence involves the absorption of light at one wavelength and the subsequent re-emission of light at a longer wavelength. The emitted light occurs almost instantaneously and ceases when the excitation light source is removed. Key characteristics of fluorescence include: Excitation and emission wavelengths: Fluorescent materials...
