A new technology that enables the patient to position the camera himself and keep it oriented correctly during the retinal imaging process has been developed at MIT Media Lab. This will help the operators who find it tricky to make...

Accurate & Rapid IR Metrology for manufacture of Freeform Optics

Posted in: Blog, Polymer Optics | July 13, 2015 at 1:59 am , by synadmn

No comments

The freeform revolution continues to redefine mainstream optics fields. Specific applications of freeform optics are currently prevented, however, because there is a lack of accurate metrology methods to guide efficient fabrication. The wide and flexible design space of freeform optics...

Microendoscope could Reduce Unnecessary Biopsies

Posted in: Blog, Polymer Optics | July 9, 2015 at 2:53 am , by synadmn

No comments

Researchers are exploring if the use of the new fibre-optic imaging system could reduce the risk of biopsies when used with a conventional endoscope. Biopsies are stressful and sometimes painful for the patients. Read more here – http://www.photonics.com/Article.aspx?AID=57464...
