A collaborative effort between researchers at the University of Colorado at Boulder and Stanford University has demonstrated a breakthrough in optical nanoscopy, the science of imaging and sensing of nanoscale objects.
Navitar, a global leader of imaging optics technology announces the release of its new 2009 product catalog featuring a full line of optical solutions for Machine Vision, Automation, Assembly, Imaging, Measuring, Inspection and Biomedical Sciences.
There's another reason to dust off those running shoes. Vigorous exercise may help prevent vision loss, according to a pair of studies from the U.S. Department of Energy's Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. The studies tracked approximately 31,000 runners for more than seven years, and found that running reduced the risk of both cataracts and age-related macular degeneration.
The image processing system VINSPEC by VITRONIC now makes it possible to inspect and read sealing caps on all sides. Due to the special patented optical system, a single sensor is able to produce a high-resolution image of the complete sealing cap including the lateral circumference.
University of Washington researchers have helped develop a new kind of microscope to visualize cells in three dimensions, an advance that could bring great progress in the field of early cancer detection.
NanoViricides, Inc. (OTC BB: NNVC.OB) (the "Company"), reported today that on-going negotiations with a large pharmaceutical company have now progressed to an advanced stage. The pharmaceutical company initially plans to evaluate NanoViricides's drug candidate for effectiveness against external ophthalmic diseases caused by two different virus types, namely herpes simplex virus (HSV) and adenovirus.
Though based on mouse studies, the research bolsters the idea that humans suffering from these and other eye conditions may be able to help preserve function by adding antioxidants to their diet, and explains why this would work. The team also devised a new cell-based gene therapy technique that could eventually offer another option for arresting vision loss from these diseases.
The Springer journal Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry (ABC) has chosen the chemist Wei Sun (26) as the recipient of its Best Paper Award 2008. Sun is the lead author of a paper in ABC on developing advanced tools for in vivo biological imaging. The award, including the 1,000 euro prize, was created by Springer to help exceptional young scientists establish their research careers.
NEC Electronics today introduced a new application-specific standard product (ASSP) to address the dramatic divergence between yesterday's image resolution and the high resolution of today's audio-visual (AV) display systems. Based on the company's unique single-frame super-resolution technology, the small, low-power ASSP (part number uPD9245GJ) reduces the blurring that occurs when low-resolution images are expanded and displayed in high-resolution.
