Localization Microscopy: Overcoming the Abbe Diffraction Barrier

An article published in Wiley Online, PhotonicsViews, focuses on localization microscopy, and how high–power continuous wave lasers can be used in super-resolution microscopy. Super-resolution microscopy overcomes the Abbe diffraction barrier, thus allowing resolution greater than 200-300 nm. The article details the principles of single-molecule localization microscopy (SMLM). This technique enables improved resolution by mapping individual photon … Continue reading

Special homogenizer for brazing and welding applications image

Holo/Or Introduces Diffractive Solution for 3D Beam Shaping

Due to the growing demand for laser brazing and welding applications, Holo/Or introduces a diffractive solution for 3D beam shaping with freedom of shape and intensity profile. A single diffractive element can replace the need for several lasers and complex optomechanical elements. This product is based on the concept of Holo/Or’s homogenizer and shares its … Continue reading

Tunable/Swept Bandwidth Lasers at New Wavelengths

Although SuperLuminescent Diodes (SLDs) are the main business of Superlum Diodes, the company also offers tunable/swept bandwidth lasers called “Broadsweepers”. Superlum introduced the first compact OEM version of Broadsweeper at 840 nm with 75 nm tuning/sweeping bandwidth two years ago. Now they present new models of this device, with wavelengths centered at 790 nm (55 … Continue reading

Hybrid Diffuse Reflectance Spectroscopy for Non-Erythemal In-Vivo SPF Testing

Are you ready for ISO 23698 to replace ISO 24444 for SPF determination? Product manufacturers and test institutes can now test their SPF products without the ethical concerns of causing erythema in test subjects. Developed alongside experts in SPF testing, the HDRS300 from Bentham produces the best available in-vivo spectral data for product development. The … Continue reading
