SwissLitho NanoFrazor Explore thermal Scanning Probe Lithography (tSPL) system
18 January, 2016The NanoFrazor Explore thermal Probe Scanning Lithography (t-SPL) system can produce 2D and 3D nanostructures in a single step. The unit can operate in ambient conditions and has no requirement for high voltage.
Optics: small, light and fantastic
11 November, 2015 by Graeme O’NeillANU biomedical engineer Dr Steve Lee has plans to turn your smartphone's camera into a portable, high-resolution, imaging microscope — and that's just one exciting application for his tiny, inexpensive polymer lenses.
Australia gains access to Earth observation program
05 November, 2015A cooperation arrangement signed in Brussels will provide Australia with access to what is said to be the most comprehensive Earth observation program in world history.
Trifoil InSyTe FLECT-CT tomographic optical imaging system
29 October, 2015The InSyTe from Trifoil provides true 360° tomographic optical preclinical imaging. This enables researchers to perform in vivo imaging of small animals in a compact, powerful benchtop system. The capabilities match that of nuclear imaging modalities such as PET and SPECT.
The remarkable world of Raman imaging
19 October, 2015At first glance, cement, cancer cells, interstellar dust, two-dimensional materials, billion-year-old microfossils, emulsions and the Kramers-Heisenberg-Dirac formula appear to have little if anything in common.
Revisiting 'The Dress'
16 October, 2015Months after the phenomenon known as 'The Dress' hit the internet, neuroscientists have demonstrated that the optical illusion is linked to specific brain activation patterns.
Enhanced ultrasound technology for earlier tumour diagnosis
08 October, 2015An Oxford University spin-out has raised £1 million from a Chinese investor to develop an imaging technology which could help doctors detect cancers — particularly prostate and liver tumours.
FLIR A6750sc SLS thermal imaging camera
26 August, 2015The FLIR A6750sc SLS thermal imaging camera offers high speed, high resolution, ease of use and flexibility in configuration for optimally detecting high-speed thermal events and fast-moving targets.
Cooled vs uncooled thermal imaging: discover the difference
05 June, 2015With a thermal imaging camera you can identify problems early in the design cycle, allowing them to be documented and corrected before becoming more serious and more costly to repair. However, not all thermal cameras are created equal.
High-speed camera records at 1 trillion frames per second
04 May, 2015Japanese researchers have developed a new high-speed camera that can record events at a rate of more than 1 trillion frames per second - more than 1000 times faster than conventional high-speed cameras.
Imaging taste cells in action
23 April, 2015An international team of scientists has used a specially designed microscope to capture the first live images of taste taking place on a tongue.
Turning smartphones into Tricorders
07 April, 2015Tel Aviv University researchers have developed the ability to turn smartphones into powerful hyperspectral sensors, capable of identifying the chemical components of objects from a distance.
Déjà supernova: star observed exploding four times
11 March, 2015 by Lauren DavisIn a case of cosmic serendipity, a US astronomer has observed multiple images of the same star's explosion.
Light observed as both a particle and a wave
04 March, 2015Since the days of Albert Einstein, scientists have recognised that light can behave simultaneously as a particle or a wave. But there has never been an experiment able to capture both natures of light at the same time - until now.
Andor iXon Ultra 888 MP, back-illuminated EMCCD camera
12 February, 2015The Andor iXon Ultra 888 MP, back-illuminated EMCCD camera offers single-photon sensitivity across a large field of view at 26 fps. It is claimed to represent a performance boost for the largest available EMCCD sensor, as well as the first USB 3.0-enabled EMCCD camera.
