What we’re reading: 3D display advances
Hello from Optics for Hire, where the topic of 3D display has been coming up even more than usual. At the moment, the clouds over Arlington are trying to figure out how much snow to deposit on Mass Ave. Feels like the right mood to share a few of the things crossing my desk: Good […]
Confocal Microscope Design: Explained
A confocal microscope is a type of microscopy that uses a focused laser beam to illuminate a sample and a pinhole aperture to eliminate out-of-focus light, resulting in high-resolution images with improved contrast and clarity.. The name “confocal” refers to the use of a pinhole aperture to achieve optical sectioning of the specimen. Confocal microscopy […]
Phase Shift Method for distance measurement
Optical techniques for distance measurement offer plenty of uses and applications. These techniques are able to measure the distance between two objects without touching them, making them perfect for a variety of situations. Optical techniques are usually the best solution when needing a noncontact method that’s fast or automated. For example, they are often used […]
