Zecotek Photonics Inc. (TSX VENTURE:ZMS)(FRANKFURT:W1I), a developer of leading-edge photonics technologies for medical, industrial and scientific markets, today announced that the market response to its new Continuous Wave Narrow-Band Ti: Sapphire Laser, the Tisarius-D-scan narrow-line laser, endorses Zecotek's growing reputation as a provider of leading edge photonic research tools.
Researchers at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill School of Medicine in collaboration with lead investigators at the University of Kentucky have identified a new target for the diagnosis and treatment of age-related macular degeneration, the most common cause of blindness in older Americans.
With sun safety a growing concern for consumers and the sun season upon us, Vision-Ease Lens (VEL), manufacturer of Coppertone™ polarized lenses, and The Skin Cancer Foundation are working together to educate consumers about the importance of sun protection for the eyes.
FRT, a trusted partner for industry-proven metrological surface measuring systems, presents a new optical film thickness measuring tool at this year's Laser 2009 in Munich. The new MicroSpy FT non-destructively measures coatings that transparent or semi-transparent in the visible and near-infrared spectrum of light.
The Fresnel Prize recognizes the highest level of excellence amongst emerging researchers, under the age of 35, in the field of photonics. Two awards are given every second year, to fundamental and applied aspects. This year the award for applied photonics has been presented to Prof. Romain Quidant from ICFO.
With its high-pressure, gas discharge Xenarc D2 Cool Blue lamps OSRAM has a xenon solution that produces a very high-contrast light with a colour temperature of 5000 Kelvin and a special, bluecoated outer sleeve. Its 3,200 lumens of luminous flux, light yield of 89 lumens per watt and operating life of 2,500 hours make the Xenarc D2 Cool Blue the first choice in xenon automobile lighting. In addition, its characteristic light adds a special touch to a car’s appearance.
Sunflowers track the sun as it moves from east to west. But people usually have to convert sunlight into electricity or heat to put its power to use. Now, a team of University of Florida chemists is the latest to report a new mechanism to transform light straight into motion – albeit at a very, very, very tiny scale.
The laboratory " Structure - Activité of Normal + Pathologic Biomolecules - SANPB ", Inserm / UEVE U829 (Genopole Evry, France) in collaboration with the Material Centre of Mines-ParisTech (Evry, France), the NRG - UMR 5060 CNRS / UTBM (Technology University of Belfort-Montbéliard) and the Physic Institute of Stuttgart University (Germany) discovered a novel route to fabricate fluorescent nanoparticles from diamond microcrystals. Results are published in Nanotechnology June10 2009 issue.
In nature, trees pull vast amounts of water from their roots up to their leaves hundreds of feet above the ground through capillary action, but now scientists at the University of Rochester have created a simple slab of metal that lifts liquid using the same principle-but does so at a speed that would make nature envious.
The data eyeglasses can read from the engineer's eyes which details he needs to see on the building plans. A CMOS chip with an eye tracker in the microdisplay makes this possible. The eyeglasses are connected to a PDA, display information and respond to commands.
