Market leader for industrial cameras with USB interface IDS Imaging Development Systems GmbH introduces a new cost-efficient and compact industrial camera.
STEMMER IMAGING has boosted its range of infrared (SWIR & NIR) sensitive cameras with the addition of new models from Xenics, Allied Vision Technologies, IDS GmbH, JAI and Teledyne DALSA. These cameras provide a wide choice of resolution, sensitivity, waveband and other functionality, but it is their enhanced performance in imaging light from the NIR region of the spectrum (700 to 1050 nm) and for the Xenics product SWIR (1um to 3nm), that allows them to reveal information in food inspection that simply cannot be obtained using conventional imaging.
Rejuvenation, a member of the Williams-Sonoma, Inc. (NYSE: WSM) portfolio of brands, known for its historically accurate, American-made, hardwired lighting, hardware, housewares, restored antiques, and one-of-a-kind salvage items, is expanding its product assortment to include table and floor lamps.
PI (Physik Instrumente), a leading manufacturer of piezo positioning equipment has released a new catalog on piezoelectric motors. The 70 page brochure covers three different types of piezo motors - inertial motors, often referred to as stick slip motors, ultrasonic motors and stepping (walk) type motors.
Skyline Products, long known for its high-quality electronic fuel price displays, announces its newest product the Cash/Credit LED price display.
For the growing number of men and women that choose to improve the appearance of their skin and reduce the signs of aging, a breakthrough in non-invasive skin technology boasts more aggressive treatments with less discomfort and no downtime.
Astronomers using NASA's Spitzer Space Telescope have announced the most precise measurement yet of the Hubble constant, or the rate at which our universe is stretching apart.
Montserrat Fernández-Vallejo, a telecommunications engineer and graduate of the UPNA-Public University of Navarre, has experimentally developed various fibre-optic sensor networks for the remote monitoring of large infrastructures. Specifically, she has managed to develop the largest network so far in existence —measuring 250 km—, which is equipped with a multiplexing capability, (which enables two or more information channels to be combined within a single transmission medium).
Resolve Optics Ltd has announced the launch of an expanded range of its popular compact Z10-HD zoom lens at the recent 2012 International Broadcasting Convention (IBC).
For the first time, a team of Australian engineers at the University of New South Wales has modelled the microscopic mechanics of a sea urchin’s spine, gaining insight into how these unusual creatures withstand impacts in their aquatic environment.
CDA Datentraeger Albrechts GmbH is a recognized specialist for the manufacture of complex microstructures, for example, as used on plastic optical elements. CDA has now extended its offering through the combination of microstructured optical components and printed electronics.
Leica Microsystems offers two special promotions to help laboratories cost effectively set up laser microdissection (LMD), and assist labs in replacing their older systems.
Ocean Thin Films has launched the SpectroCam-UV – a new ultraviolet (UV) multispectral imaging (MSI) concept. The SpectroCam MSI camera offers finely tuned detection from UV across the visible spectrum and into the near-IR. The SpectroCam-UV is a highly sophisticated instrument for high-grade research.
