Quantum Sensor Could Increase Quality and Speed of MRI Scans
Researchers at the Danish Research Center for Magnetic Resonance (DRCMR) and the Niels Bohr Institute at the University of Copenhagen have developed a quantum optical magnetometer. This sensor measures high magnetic fields and is expected to increase the longevity of MRI scanners while improving their quality and lowering costs. A prototype of the sensor is currently operational at Hvidovre Hospital at DRCMR.

Adaptive Optics Offers Clues to How the Eye Perceives Color
Using adaptive optics, researchers at the University of Rochester identified some of the rare, non-cardinal retinal ganglion cells in the fovea of the eye. The UR team’s discovery could improve scientific understanding of how humans perceive color and eventually lead to new solutions for treating vision loss.

Accelerating Time-to-Market with Semrock Optical Filters
Thu, Jun 20, 2024 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
In this webinar, Elizabeth Bernhardt from IDEX Health & Science illustrates how the Semrock suite of tools accelerates prototyping timelines. First, she demonstrates the free SearchLight spectral modeling analysis tool, which saves prototyping hours and quickly calculates different filter options. After spectral modeling, she shows how to move straight to the lab using the ready-to-ship Semrock optical filter catalog. With more than 850 optical filters, testing and optimizing optical filters has never been easier. Finally, she presents why engaging with IDEX Health & Science’s team of filter experts sets instruments apart. Leveraging extensive industry experience and granting access to thousands of coating recipes, IDEX Health & Science provides key assistance in optimizing filter selection, including advising on custom coating run considerations and cost optimization. With their commitment to shorter lead times and a dedicated team, they customize optical filters suited to specific applications. Attendees are empowered to use Semrock tools and optical filters to accelerate time-to-market. Presented by IDEX Health & Science.
