Photonic Oxygen Sensing Tools for Health Care
Tue, Jul 9, 2024 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
A central challenge in the clinical care of patients is the measurement of tissue oxygen. While numerous tools exist to measure aspects of tissue perfusion and oxygenation, such as doppler and NIR oximetry, these methods only indirectly provide information regarding oxygen content in tissue. Researchers have developed a platform technology based on ultrabright porphyrin photochemistry that enables direct, quantitative measurement of tissue oxygen concentration. They have also translated sensor, imaging, and implantable sensors to preclinical and clinical application for patient care challenges ranging from post-surgical monitoring to chronic wound care.

Beam Steering with Galvos: Common Configurations and Their Uses
Wed, Jul 24, 2024 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
Galvanometer scanning systems are highly configurable tools for steering laser beams and are used in applications including microscopy, lidar, and the laser processing of materials. Choosing the correct configuration for a particular application requires the consideration of a wide range of factors. In this webinar, Carol Borsa from Thorlabs compares commonly available configurations and discusses the merits of each. She provides key insights to specifications on data sheets, and guides users to suitable solutions. This presentation also covers basic integration steps and requirements, as well as helpful tools for finding the limits of a system. Participants will gain insights into best practices when choosing a system and will have the opportunity to learn ways to use other available equipment to integrate confidently. Presented by Thorlabs.
