A precision surface measurement tool featuring an industry-leading high-speed column drive, precision positioning and 4mm roundness and contour gauge has been introduced by Taylor Hobson, a unit of AMETEK
Precis Altechna has presented a new design for its website, a stock optics e-shop, which allows customers to order products not only at an office desk but also via tablets or smart phones
Laser Components has introduced the CAB-LN1 series of low noise cables from Femto, designed to counter triboelectric and microphonic noise, improving sensitive current and charge measurements
Arden Photonics has introduced the new smaller, lighter, and cheaper ModCon Mode Controller, which can be used to modify LED or VCSEL light sources to provide EF-compliant launch conditions
The 508 TPI (0.05mm pitch) ultra-fine adjustment screw sets are now available in the UK and Ireland through Elliot Scientific
Advanced Thin Films has launched its new website to support the combined brands of ATFilms and Precision Photonics
OSI Laser Diode, an OSI Systems Company, has introduced new high-power fibre laser product packaging options for the CVD High Power Laser line
VI systems have released the new V10-1300M optical transmitter and R40-1300 reciever modules for use in SANS (Storage Area Networks)
A patchcord developed by Laser Components allows users to transmit CO2 laser light to the desired location. The laser light is coupled into the fibre with a suitable fibre coupling unit
Laser components has released the NIR-MPX-LN-02 phase modulator, the latest addition to the NIR-MPX-LN 1000nm band phase modulators series that offers a range starting at 100MHz, to 2GHz, then 5GHz, and 10GHz.

As microscopes become ever more powerful, a growing band of businesses are racing to make the latest technologies more accessible and more affordable, reports Rebecca Pool
Illustration of a three-dimensional crystal with various types of confining centres. (a) Crystal with four confining centres, each trapping waves (yellow) in all three dimensions simultaneously. (b) Crystal with a linear confining centre where waves can propagate in one dimension, analogous to an optical fibre. (c) Crystal with a planar confining centre where waves can propagate in two dimensions, analogous to a 2D electron gas. (Image: Vos et al.)
