The brain is having a big year. At the end of September, the National Photonics Initiative launched the Photonics Industry Neuroscience Group, an industry consortium that includes several well-known photonics companies. The industry leaders plan to invest upwards of $30 million for photonics R&D in support of the White House’s BRAIN Initiative. Targeted technologies include: imaging optics, laser sources, automated scanning technology and high-resolution cameras; miniature microscopes for therapeutic screening; fluorescent-protein engineering technology; and automated software for detailed mapping of the human brain.

Global-Shutter vs. Rolling-Shutter Readouts
New sCMOS cameras overcome rolling-shutter artifacts by combining the best of both global and rolling shutters to achieve the simultaneous exposure with all rows, all while maintaining the frame rate and low noise benefits of rolling-shutter readouts.
