3D Biometric Technique Provides Accurate, Efficient Security
An optical biometric authentication tool using photoacoustic tomography to map a subject’s finger veins in 3D could provide a nearly uncrackable security method. Researchers at SUNY Buffalo developed the biometric authentication technique. Tests showed that the method performed with 99% accuracy in accepting and/or rejecting identities.

Hyperspectral Stripe Projector Combines 3D, Spectroscopic Imaging
A projector capable of making images that elude the capture capabilities of traditional cameras could, when paired with a monochrome sensor array and sophisticated programming, enable 3D spectroscopy on the fly. On its own, the compact Hyperspectral Stripe Projector (HSP) supports a new method for collecting the spatial and spectral information necessary for considerable and diverse applications.

Chemical System Collects, Stores Solar Energy on Molecule for 14 Hours
By decoupling photochemical processes from the classic day-night cycle, researchers from the Leibniz Institute of Photonic Technology and Friedrich Schiller University have developed a copper complex-based chemical system for molecularly storing solar energy for at least 14 hours. The system overcomes a barrier that had made solar-powered photochemistry unsuitable for continuous industrial production processes.

Setting Up a Simple and Cost-Efficient Two-Photon Microscope for Neuroscience
Wed, Oct 14, 2020 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
In this webinar, Max Eisele, Ph.D., Product Manager for Ultrafast Fiber Lasers at TOPTICA Photonics, will highlight the advantages of multi-photon microscopy and introduce suitable microscope platforms and illumination units to guide you through the set-up of a simple and cost-efficient two-photon microscope. As an example, we will demonstrate the integration of a single-wavelength fiber-laser at 920nm into a two-photon microscope that is optimized to the excitation and detection of green fluorescent proteins, typically used in neuroscience applications. Presented by TOPTICA Photonics.

Paving the Way Toward Ultrahigh-Speed and High-Resolution 3D Optical Measurements
Thu, Oct 15, 2020 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
In this webinar, Casey Emtman of Micro Encoder Inc. will discuss the concept of liquid lenses, which involves controlling the shape of a liquid to alter the properties of a lens, and how liquid lens technologies can provide fast and accurate measurements for 3D inspection.

.: All Things Photonics

In this week's episode, Manu Prakash recounts the road to putting the Foldscope microscope in the hands of more than 1 million users around the world. We also explore science’s role in our current global pandemic situation and how a problem-solving mentality extends beyond the laboratory.
