Imaging Diagnostic Systems, Inc., a pioneer in laser optical breast cancer imaging systems, announced today that its distributor The Oyamo group has place an order for the first CT Laser Mammography System (CTLM(R)) for Jerusalem, Israel.
An atomic-resolution view of an enzyme found only in the eye has given researchers at the University of Washington (UW) clues about how this enzyme, essential to vision, is activated. The enzyme, phosphodiesterase 6 (PDE6), is central to the way light entering the retina is converted into a cascade of signals to the brain.
Advanced Medical Optics, Inc., the global leader in advanced refractive technologies for eye care professionals and patients, today announced the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted premarket approval (PMA) of Healon D® viscoelastic, a clear dispersive ophthalmic viscosurgical device (OVD) for use as a surgical aid in cataract extraction, intraocular lens (IOL) implantation, corneal transplant, and glaucoma filtration surgery.
IMEC's associated laboratory at the Ghent University, INTEC, has made the first functional optical links embedded in a flexible substrate. The links include optical waveguides, light sources, and detectors. With this technique, it becomes possible to make foils that sense changes in pressure. Such sensing, skin-like foils could be used for monitoring irregular or moving surfaces, e.g. in robots, pliable machinery, or as an artificial skin.
It's TAITRONICS time! That's right the days when every hotel room is booked out, and parking space is taken. This event, its 34th cycle, unfolds at the brand new TWTC NANGANG Exhibition Hall from October 7 to 11.
A new graduate program in computational optical sensing and imaging is being established at the University of Colorado at Boulder this fall with the awarding of a $3.2 million, five-year grant from the National Science Foundation.
Researchers at the Farber Institute for Neurosciences at Thomas Jefferson University and the Department of Psychiatry and Human Behavior at Jefferson Medical College of Thomas Jefferson University were recently awarded a $3.7 million grant from The National Eye Institute to study depression in patients diagnosed with age-related macular degeneration (AMD).
Cymer, Inc., the market's leading developer of light sources used to pattern advanced semiconductor chips, announced today that Berthold Leibinger Stiftung, a non-profit German foundation also dedicated to recognizing technical innovations in laser technology, has awarded two of Cymer's researchers with a "Berthold Leibinger Innovationspreis" award.
A group of researchers in Lausanne, Switzerland has published a study appearing in the Oct 1 advance online edition of the Journal Nature that shows how the cornea uses stem cells to repair itself.
Syntec Optics, recipient of the prestigious 2008 Frost + Sullivan Growth Excellence Award in the North American polymer optics market, announces new manufacturing capacity that directly correlates with its focus on innovation. Syntec is also actively seeking more staff. To quote the Frost and Sullivan award, "Syntec Optics, through its commitment to innovation and consistent focus on profitability, is rapidly growing at an average annual growth rate of 16%
