Imaging Technology, Experimentation Converge at SPIE BiOS
A host of researchers and industry experts will descend on SPIE BiOS 2020 in February to expound upon — and demonstrate — the ability of optical technologies to analyze, diagnose, and treat a multitude of medical conditions that clinicians grapple with every day. And while dermatology will be a component of this year’s conference, innovations within the biophotonics sphere have proven to be more than just skin deep, providing key insights into areas such as cardiology, head and neck surgery, and drug treatment with the aid of the latest equipment in microscopy, spectroscopy, lasers, and other imaging techniques.

Integrating Sphere Detectors
From: MKS/Newport
Integrating sphere detectors have a photodiode detector mounted on integrating spheres with various sizes and is calibrated as a system, compensating for the attenuation caused by the sphere. The input beam is diffused inside the sphere so that the measurements are less sensitive to errors caused by detector position and angle sensitivity, overfilling, and saturation, or the divergence angle and polarization of the input beam.

Microstage Has Controller Inside
From: New Scale Technologies Inc.
Precision microstages have built-in controllers that plug-and-play with your system processor and 3-6 VDC power supply. No separate control board needed! You achieve the smallest system size, fastest time to market, and lowest total cost. M3 microstages are the easiest, most cost-effective way to embed precision motion into handheld and portable instruments. Create smaller, more advanced microscopes, spectroscopy systems, imaging devices, and more. Embedded motion makes great products smaller!
