Mirrors have special powers in the real world too, especially in the hands of an astronomer. In fact, modern astronomy depends on mirrors. Almost every telescope uses a mirror, sometimes several mirrors, to gather and guide starlight toward some super-sensitive digital detector where a breathtaking image can be formed. Without mirrors, it would be almost impossible to study the universe.
Photoacoustic techniques can supplement conventional imaging techniques in breast cancer diagnostics. From first tests on patients using the ¡¥photoacoustic mammoscope¡¦ developed by the University of Twente, researcher Dr. Srirang Manohar concludes that the images obtained add valuable information about the vascularisation of a tumor. The research has been done in cooperation with the Medisch Spectrum Twente hospital in Enschede, and the results are published in the online journal Optics Express.
Prof. Ehud Assia and Dr. Ami Eyel of IOPtima are testing a new laser surgery device specifically designed to make glaucoma procedures safer, simpler and faster.
Cataract patients with no macular pathology can maintain macular integrity after surgery involving a posterior capsulorrhexis and posterior optic buttonholing, according to a surgeon speaking here.
