In 1997, FDA published a draft document recommending that individuals with implanted pacemakers should not enter magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) procedure rooms or come within the 5-G line around the ...

Engineers have developed the world's first portable, inexpensive, optical nanoscopy tool that integrates a glass optical fiber with a silver nanowire condenser. The device is a high-efficiency ...

The application fields for spectroscopy are growing rapidly. Fiber optical probes allow for a flexible interface between the spectrometer and the sample to be examined. They even reach small spaces or ...

Miniaturized sensors mounted upon optical fibers are widely recognized as an important future solution to instant and point-of-care medical diagnosis and on-site agricultural produce inspection.

Scientists have developed an ultrasonic imaging system, which can be deployed on the tip of a hair-thin optical fiber, and will be insertable into the human body to visualize cell abnormalities in 3D.

Neoptix Fiber Optic Sensors, Inc. has introduced its new “Tx” model fiber optic temperature probe that allows monitoring of temperature through the wall of an enclosure or a tank. The Tx optical ...

Tokyo — NEC Corp. has developed an optical-fiber probe small enough to insert between the balls of a BGA package, where it can “see” the electric field around the pins. By next March, NEC engineers ...

Microendoscopes are the cornerstone of modern medical diagnostics - they allow us to see what we could not even describe two decades ago. The technology is constantly improving, with ICTER scientists ...

Designed to illuminate hard-to-reach areas for visual inspection, the company's portable LED fiber optic probe offers a number of angled probe-extension sizes and angles. Each probe extension slips on ...

Brain temperature is affected by a wide range of external factors, and in turn influences many aspects of animal behavior and health. One particular class of external agent is stimulant drugs such as ...
