Polymers are known to have excellent chemical resistance, strength, and elasticity. However, these very properties can hinder their chemical analysis. Therefore, the quality control techniques used ...

In an important step toward endoscopic diagnosis of cancer, researchers have developed a handheld fiber optic probe that can be used to perform multiple nonlinear imaging techniques without the need ...

Diagnosing a muscular disorder, disease or infection often requires a sample of the tissue to be extracted, but these biopsies can be painful and difficult to perform. Researchers at the ...

Saelig Company, Inc. unveiled the Teledyne LeCroy HVFO103 – a high voltage fiber-optically isolated 60MHz oscilloscope probe that is optimally designed for the measurement of small signals floating on ...

Accurate diagnosis of cancer typically requires removal of a tissue sample for analysis, but optical alternatives to these biopsy procedures would be faster, less invasive and potentially more precise ...

NIST engineers measure the diameter of tiny holes by imaging the shadow of a microsphere tipped fiber. US technology and standards agency NIST thinks its fiber deflection probe could be ideal for ...
