With ultrafast laser systems, high-intensity laser pulses in a localized focal volume and time can be generated. This allows for novel laser applications in material processing based on nonlinear ...

Avantier's case study examines the high NA infinity conjugate long working distance microscope objective, designed for optical tweezers and other precision applications. With a 16 mm focal length, 14 ...

The new line of Olympus SCALEVIEW multiphoton microscope objectives, which allow researchers to see far deeper into tissue than was ever possible before, has earned three prestigious life science ...

Zooming in: image of mouse embryo. (Courtesy: Gail McConnell/University of Strathclyde) A new microscope lens that offers the unique combination of a large field of view with high resolution has been ...

Over on YouTube [Applied Science] shows us how to make an f/0.38 camera lens using an oil immersion microscope objective. The f-number of a lens indicates how well it will perform in low-light. To ...

This electron microscope image shows the structure of the lens (white line is 0.002mm long) A flat lens made of paint whitener on a sliver of glass could revolutionise optics, according to its US ...
