Deposition Sciences Inc. (DSI) - Dark Mirror Coatings Dark Mirror Coatings

Deposition Sciences Inc. (DSI)
Dark mirror coatings absorb incident light, rather than reflecting or transmitting it. Thus, they simultaneously exhibit both the low transmittance of a metal blocking filter and the low reflectance of an antireflection coating. Dark mirrors are typically used to define the aperture of an optical system where control of stray light...

Biosensor Monitors Oxygen in Organ-on-a-Chip Systems
Biosensor Monitors Oxygen in Organ-on-a-Chip Systems
A new biosensor allows researchers to track oxygen levels in real time in 'organ-on-a-chip' systems, making it possible to ensure that such systems more closely mimic the function of real organs. This is essential if organs-on-a-chip hope to achieve their potential in applications such as drug and toxicity testing.
