Thirty years ago on April 24th, the Space Shuttle Discovery launched with the Hubble Telescope on board. In the years since, scientists around the world have uncovered mysteries of the universe through the information Hubble has gathered. When this iconic telescope was launched into outer space, Photonis was on board with its long-lasting, large format … Continue reading
Imaging microscopic biological specimens demands greater resolution than can typically be attained via conventional microscopy. Consider a cell, which is predominantly composed of water and is subsequently transparent. Visible light-based microscopy will fail to provide much detail about cellular structures, as most light on the range of 400–700 nanometers (nm) will simply transmit through. This … Continue reading
