Exploring the City by the Bay
San Francisco, home to SPIE Photonics West – the industry’s largest conference and exposition – is a city of neighborhoods. In this issue of Sneak Preview – Photonics West Edition #1 – Photonics Media Senior Editor Justine Murphy explores some of what makes this town so distinctive and exciting.
In the mid-1800s San Francisco got a bit of a kick-start when it became the central port and depot of the west’s initial Gold Rush frenzy. The infamous earthquake and subsequent fires of 1906 destroyed much of the city, but it was rebuilt rather quickly and by the 1930s it was growing exponentially into outlying neighborhoods.

Everstill™ Active Vibration Cancellation
From: TMC
The new Everstill™ K-400 compact, benchtop active vibration cancellation platform isolates ultra-precision instruments from building floor vibration, enabling higher resolution and more precise measurements. Designed for maximum low-frequency performance, Everstill excels in the critical 1-10 Hz range where precision instruments tend to be the most sensitive. It is ideal for optical microscopes, SPMs and metrology instruments. TMC is a unit of AMETEK Ultra Precision Technologies.

All-In-One Beam Steering System
From: NEW SCALE TECHNOLOGIES
This new miniature beam steering system enables smaller instruments. The rotary piezo smart stage has a familiar galvo form factor, but dramatically smaller size: just 12 mm diameter including the built-in closed-loop controller. Developer’s kits are available for one-axis mirror positioning and two-axis beam steering systems. Mirrors move +/-20° for precise point-to-point positioning of beams up to 2 mm diameter or dynamic scanning to 100 Hz.
