Researchers have developed a compact handheld imaging probe that could expand the clinical and research use of photoacoustic ...

In an important step toward endoscopic diagnosis of cancer, researchers have developed a handheld fiber optic probe that can be used to perform multiple nonlinear imaging techniques without the need ...

JDSU has released the HD3-P, handheld display with probe to help prevent a leading cause of network downtime: contaminated, or “dirty,” fiber. The new HD3-P gives any technician handling optical fiber ...

Accurate diagnosis of cancer typically requires removal of a tissue sample for analysis, but optical alternatives to these biopsy procedures would be faster, less invasive and potentially more precise ...

The basics of fiber optic cables and bundles and how they can be used to collect and direct light are discussed in ‘An Introduction to a Spectrometer: Fiber Optic Bundles’. This article will discuss ...

Microscopes are of three basic types: optical, electron (or ion), and scanning probe. The modern optical or light microscope was developed in the mid-19th century. Optical microscopes use transparent ...
