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.
MR Solutions MRI systems
11 February, 2015MR Solutions is a developer of innovative preclinical imaging solutions. The company's superconducting, cryogen-free, preclinical MRI systems up to 7 Tesla are suitable for in vivo investigations in areas such as oncology, developmental biology, cardiovascular disease, neurology and drug development.
BioTek Cytation 5 Cell Imaging Multi-Mode Reader
04 December, 2014BioTek introduces the Cytation 5 Cell Imaging Multi-Mode Reader. The second-generation imaging reader includes added functionality to both the automated digital microscopy and conventional multimode microplate detection modes, enhancing phenotypic cellular information and well-based quantitative data.
Bio Rad ZOE Fluorescent Cell Imager
02 October, 2014Bio-Rad Laboratories has announced the ZOE Fluorescent Cell Imager, a cell imaging system that can deliver the power of microscopy in a system that is as easy to use as a tablet. The system includes three fluorescent channels and brightfield to simplify fluorescence imaging for cell culture applications.
Bio-Rad ChemiDoc Touch Imaging System
24 September, 2014The ChemiDoc Touch Imaging System, from Bio-Rad, is a complete solution for gel and western blot imaging. The system combines the sensitivity of film with advanced detection technology to determine the best exposure settings for publication-quality western blot images.
FLIR A6700sc thermal imaging camera
22 August, 2014The FLIR A6700sc is suitable for industrial R&D, for applications that need better image quality, more sensitivity and a higher frame rate than what can be obtained from a thermal imaging camera with an uncooled detector.
