Vision software makers must manage the data surge resulting from 3-D measurement, escalating pixel counts and more. In some ways, the machine vision market is no different than its consumer counterpart. Take, for instance, the question of megapixels. The big growth now is in 2- to 5-MP sensors, with 20+-megapixel sensors in niche markets.

A cerium oxide recycling program undertaken out of necessity has provided significant efficiency and cost cutting. The recycling process involves remixing the cerium oxide particles into a concentrate so that a reusable cerium oxide slurry is available for polishing applications.

UV Laser Radiation: Skin Hazards and Skin Protection Controls
The words “laser safety” bring to mind eye protection, but protecting the skin is also important. Skin-hazard descriptions and control requirements related to UV laser radiation can be found in the ANSI Z136 safety standard, the OSHA Technical Manual and the ACGIH handbook of threshold limit values. These references provide practical guidance on UV skin hazards. Controls – based on these references and on a few example calculations – can help keep UV laser users safe.

Fast & Sensitive Camera Technologies – How to Choose the Best Solution
Thursday, August 21, 2014 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM EDT
FREE WEBINAR
Dr. Hanrahan
|
|
Dr. Orla Hanrahan has worked with Andor Technology as an Application Specialist in Life Science for the past four years. In this webinar, Dr. Hanrahan will outline the key parameters required for a fast and sensitive detector. She will present Andor's range of imaging cameras which will demonstrate the advantage of choice and flexibility to the end user. The key differences between EMCCD and sCMOS technology will be discussed as well as the applications these cameras are suitable for.
