How Does Night Vision Work?

Night vision telescopes or binoculars allow the wearer to see items at night in low light conditions. The lenses in night vision binoculars or telescopes gather and intensify the ambient light and concentrate it with optics that allow the wearer to see better in the dark than they can with the naked eye.

Electronics Being Embedded Into Contact Lenses

An article printed on ExtremeTech recently noted that a team of Finnish and United States bioengineers have succeeded in embedding an antenna, control circuitry, LED and a radio receiver into a wearable contact lens.

Diode Lasers Aid In Minimally Invasive Surgery

X-Ray Lens Technology Utilizes UKA Products

Since its invention in 1895 by Wilhelm Roentgen, a German physicist, x-ray technology was something he stumbled upon in an accidental manner; the happy accident eventually changed medical practices and diagnosis.

Adaptive Imaging Technologies & Optical Lens Systems

It was in 1953 when H.W. Babcock, an astronomer, suggested using a "deformable optic with a wavefront sensor" the system was used with a feedback control that could measure and correct any dynamic aberrations that occurred because of atmospheric turbulence.

Using 3D Medical Imaging Cameras To Dress Wounds

Researchers used medical imaging camera and digital surface photogrammetry techniques to map shape information for the various test sites on the neck and legs of the subjects.

Medical Lens 3D Surgery

Strides are being made in medical lens design techniques and one of those innovations is in the area of laparoscopic surgery; this surgery is performed by the surgeon making an incision in the patient as a way to view the area.

CCD Lens-less Digital Microscope Technology

A CCD sensor captures and records images of specimens and transmits it to a computer monitor. The CCD plugs into the computer's USB port and the information can also be stored on the computer's hard drive.
