It is well established that a child's brain has a remarkable capacity for change, but controversy continues about the extent to which such plasticity exists in the adult human primary sensory cortex. Now, neuroscientists from MIT and Johns Hopkins University have used converging evidence from brain imaging and behavioral studies to show that the adult visual cortex does indeed reorganize-and that the change affects visual perception. The study appears online Sept. 5 in an advance publication of the Journal of Neuroscience.
In recent years, the concept of multimodality imaging has emerged coincident with advances in the newer technologies of Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) and Coronary Computed Tomography (CCT). It has become clear that the field of cardiovascular imaging, in general, is enjoying major growth and technological advances.
Most people think of Sir Isaac Newton as the father of gravity.
But for Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory physicist Henry Chapman and his colleagues, Newton’s “dusty mirror” experiment served a...
Firstsight Vision has announced the availability of a new machine vision timing controller that allows accurate timing control for a variety of events in production line machine vision systems. These include component sensing, camera triggering and reject gate control.
HORIBA Jobin Yvon is pleased to offer the XGT-7000, the latest system in the XGT series of energy dispersive x-ray fluorescence (EDXRF) microscopes. This ground breaking instrument offers fast, high sensitivity qualitative and quantitative elemental analysis and imaging, transmission x-ray imaging, unique dual vacuum modes, and dedicated imaging acquisition/analysis software.
Carl Zeiss introduces the PALM MicroBeam IV, a system designed to cleanly extract even the smallest biomaterials from heterogeneous tissue and cell colonies. The patented Laser Microdissection and Pressure Catapulting (LMPC) process at the core of the PALM MicroBeam provides a pure and contact-free optical technique that is gentle enough to facilitate microdissection and manipulation of even living cells in culture.
Dolan-Jenner Industries of Boxborough, MA is a leading manufacturer of fiber optic components and fiber optic illumination systems that serve the microscopy, imaging, and machine vision industries. Dolan-Jenner introduces the Fiber-Lite DC950 Machine Vision Fiber Optic Illuminator for machine vision integrators.
Technologies Inc. today announced its Complex Monolithic Optics (CMO) Development Program for OEM customers. The program offers customers the opportunity to incorporate the latest high-precision optics design technology into their optical system designs. CMOs are stand-alone optical assemblies that are created when multiple discrete optics are bonded together into a single, pre-aligned optical structure.
When light strikes a metallic array of tiny openings, smaller than the wavelength of the light itself, interesting entities known as plasmons may be created. An electromagnetic phenomenon like light itself, the plasmons are waves of electrons that move on the surface of a material like ripples on a pond, but they can oscillate back and forth at the frequency of the incoming light. Like water ripples on a pond surface, plasmons travel in the plane of the metal but with a wavelength smaller, sometimes considerably smaller, than the original light.
Canada and Spain's University of Murcia used a Macroscope, a patented technology developed by Biomedical Photometrics Inc., which enables imaging of much larger tissue samples at a very high resolution – in this case tissue infected with malaria. Using their new patented method and the Macroscope, the researchers measured tell-tale changes in the polarization of light reflecting off a sample of infected tissue.
