A dark, diamond-like structure has risen on the banks of Shanghai’s Huangpu River. Glittering by day and inky black after sunset, its glass facade evokes the angled geometry of a gemstone. But this ...

A mass protest on Saturday filled with activists from the radical organization Antifa, which President Donald Trump designated as a domestic terrorist organization, delayed the start of a conference ...

In quantum computing studies, precision optics play a pivotal role in experimental success. The long working distance (LWD) microscope objective lens is a key element in ion-trap quantum computers.

Over on YouTube [Applied Science] shows us how to make an f/0.38 camera lens using an oil immersion microscope objective. The f-number of a lens indicates how well it will perform in low-light. To ...

FDA’s intent to overhaul the GRAS program as lawmakers push to eliminate self-affirmed determinations puts food additive safety and consumer trust under sharper scrutiny, according to experts. During ...

This case study examines the high numerical aperture (NA) infinity conjugate long working distance microscope objective, suitable for precision applications such as optical tweezers. The microscope ...

A global leader in agricultural genetics sought durable, economical UV microscope objectives. Issues in meeting these objectives included optical design complexity, wavefront control, and fabrication ...

Ghost imaging is like a game of Battleship. Instead of seeing an object directly, scientists use entangled photons to remove the background and reveal its silhouette. This method can be used to study ...

Metalenses represent a revolutionary advancement in optical technology. Unlike conventional microscope objectives that rely on curved glass surfaces, metalenses employ nanoscale structures to ...

Avantier's case study examines the high NA infinity conjugate long working distance microscope objective, designed for optical tweezers and other precision applications. With a 16 mm focal length, 14 ...
