The ORCA-Flash2.8 camera from Hamamatsu Photonics features a FL-280 CMOS image sensor, which offers 2.8 Mpixels and a 3.63 × 3.63 µm pixel size.

Nonlinear interferometric vibrational imaging (NIVI) is a novel microscopy technique that delivers easy-to-read, color-coded images of tissue that outline clear tumor boundaries, which could eliminate the wait for cancer biopsy results.

Digital camera and imaging solutions manufacturer Lumenera will expand its manufacturing facility in Ottawa to meet market demand for custom and OEM cameras in the scientific, industrial and surveillance markets.

Recently, researchers from Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology in Korea investigated using ultrahigh resolution full-field optical coherence microscopy (FF-OCM) for identifying live cancer cells.

Made of ultra-thin polycarbon film, the QuantumBrite flexible LED backlight from Lumex measures 0.6 mm thick on its widest side.

Bio-Formats, an image file translation tool, and OMERO, an image data management platform, both from Glencoe Software, Inc., are available with important updates.

Sanjeevi Sivasankar, an Iowa State University assistant professor of physics and astronomy and an associate of the U.S. Department of Energy's Ames Laboratory, came up with the idea of developing and building a unique, single-molecule microscope.

Capsulorhexis—the removal of a disc from the capsule surrounding the eye’s lens—is one of the few aspects of cataract surgery that has yet to be enhanced by technology, but new developments in guided lasers could soon eliminate the need for such manual dexterity.

The OTFI-0250 LED fiber-optic illuminator module from PerkinElmer incorporates precision optics, a thermal management system and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding.

The Xineos 1313 CMOS flat-panel X-ray detectors from DALSA operate at full resolution for both frame-based panoramic imaging, at frame rates exceeding 300 fps, as well as for medium field of view (MFOV) cone beam CT applications at 30 fps.

Researchers from the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and the Whiting School of Engineering have been working to design and develop ultra-high resolution (~1 µm), high-speed (10 fps) functional spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (OCT) for real-time guided microsurgery.

Using a novel, real-time imaging system, scientists have tracked a group of near-infrared (NIR) fluorescent nanoparticles from the airspaces of the lungs, into the body and out again, providing a description of their characteristics and behavior, which could be used in developing therapeutic agents to treat pulmonary disease, as well as offering a greater understanding of the health effects of air pollution.

The iMIC-Andromeda imaging workstation from TILL Photonics can perform TIRF, FRAP, photoactivation, FRET, FCS, multi-photon, structured illumination, and proprietary confocal laser spinning disk imaging.

Researchers at King’s Health Partners Academic Health Sciences Centre and Michelson Diagnostics Ltd., the latter of which recently attracted a £1.7 million investment, are collaborating to target skin cancer with a new type of imaging probe.
