Nobel Prize-Winning Technique Helps Resolve Imaging Challenge
Using a technique that was awarded the 2022 Nobel Prize in chemistry, researchers at Cornell University used expansion microscopy to study lipids, the water-repellent, dynamic components that comprise the walls of cells and organelles. The technique, called Lipid Expansion Microscopy, will enable closer study of biological membranes, which are the site of critical cell signaling and nutrient exchange. These processes can lead to disease if disrupted.

Ray Optics Simulations
Wed, Nov 16, 2022 2:00 PM - 3:00 PM EST
Ping Chu, Ph.D., shares about optical ray tracing using the COMSOL Multiphysics^® software and presents a live demo of the software. This demo shows how to create a fully parameterized geometry of a typical lens system, trace rays through the system, and postprocess the results. She also discusses more specialized ray features, such as the analysis of ray intensity and polarization. Finally, she explains how the Ray Optics Module, an add-on product to COMSOL Multiphysics^®, can be combined with structural and thermal simulation for highly accurate structural-thermal-optical performance (STOP) analysis. Presented by COMSOL.

Introduction to Display Metrology: Evaluating the Quality of Displays Using Scientific Systems and Methods
Thu, Nov 17, 2022 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EST
Using scientific methods and equipment, display metrology solutions capture and assess the quantitative values of a display’s output to evaluate its visual quality and performance. Jessy Hosken of Radian Vision Systems shares the science behind display testing, including measurement equipment and techniques used by manufacturers throughout labs and production lines to ensure high-quality display products from microLED to AR/VR devices. Presented by Radiant Vision Systems.
