A new magnetic mirror uses non-metallic metamaterial properties to reflect IR light. Scientists at Sandia National Laboratories developed the magnetic mirror by placing nanoscale antennas at or very near the mirror’s surface, thereby allowing the researchers to harness IR radiation.

WHITE PAPER
|
Spatial Light Interference Microscopy
Andor Technology plc, Corporate Headquarters
Spatial light interference microscopy (SLIM) is a highly sensitive quantitative phase imaging method, which is capable of unprecedented structure studies in biology and beyond. SLIM combines two classical ideas in optics and microscopy: Zernike's phase contrast method, by revealing the intrinsic contrast of transparent samples, and Gabor's holography, by quantitatively retrieving the phase information. SLIM provides the spatial uniformity associated with white light methods and the stability associated with common path interferometry. In addition, due to the short coherence length of the illumination, SLIM also provides excellent optical sectioning, enabling three dimensional tomography.

The Man-Machine Collaboration: Safety Sensors webinar will focus on the new technologies enabling this shift. Machine vision, sensors, safety scanners and safety light curtains are just a few of the enabling technologies that are being deployed in man-machine collaborative manufacturing projects. As this trend develops, new and innovative solutions will emerge such as 3-D bubble safety and faster machine-learning algorithms. This webinar will explore some of the business opportunities within this space, as well as discuss the remaining technological hurdles that must be overcome.

FEATURED VIDEO
Newport Corporation - OpticsCage+
OpticsCage+™ utilizes an easy-to-use snap in design to expedite the creation of optical systems. Most cage systems only use a closed-hole captive design for adapting optic carriers to the 4-rod cage structure. This restriction requires a nearly complete teardown of a cage system to simply add or remove a component. The open-slot design of OpticsCage+ allows optical elements to be inserted directly into an assembled cage without the need for disassembly.
