A look at the market for hyperspectral imaging and some of the products and solutions available
Hear from speakers representing the shortlisted companies in both the Quantum category + Sensors, test and measurement / Optical measuring systems / Imaging category from April's Laser World of Photonics Innovation Award.
Keely Portway investigates how the latest developments in specialised intensifier cameras have allowed opportunities for a number of exciting specialist applications in low-light scenarios
Image intensifiers help to increase the intensity of the available light in a system, which allows better image reproduction in low-light scenarios. This specialist technology is used in a range of applications, including biotechnology, industry, research and astronomy.

We ask four experts to give their advice for 3D imaging best practices
Edmund Optics’ new Techspec HPr (high performance ruggedised) series fixed focal length lenses feature up to 9MP resolution
Princeton Instruments has released two large format in-vacuum CCD cameras engineered specifically for direct detection in VUV, EUV, and x-ray imaging applications from approximately 10eV to 30keV
Thorlabs has expanded its Ganymede OCT line to include two complete imaging systems offering an exceptional A-scan rate of 248kHz
Does building your own OCT spectrometer really get you the clearest image? Creating a high-performance spectrometer for SD-OCT imaging requires a deep understanding of the finer points of both OCT theory and spectrometer design. In this tech note, we'll explain the most important parameters and contributors, then model the best available off-the-shelf lenses vs custom-designed optics to see just how the two compare. The difference in performance will surprise you…
