The Thin Film Transistor is short for Thin Film transistors.TFT screen are the mainstream of laptop and desktop display device, the class every LCD pixels on the screen is integrated in the thin film transistor to drive behind the pixels, so the TFT screen is also a kind of active matrix liquid crystal display device.It is one of the best LCD color displays, and the TFT type display has the advantages of high responsiveness, high brightness, high contrast and so on. Its display effect is close to CRT display.In Japan in 1993, after mastering the TFT - LCD production technology, liquid crystal display to the two direction: one direction is toward the low price, low cost of the STN LCD display direction, then introduced the DSTN - LCD (double super twisted array);The other direction is the development of high quality thin-film transistor tft-lcd.Early TFT LCD is mainly used in notebooks, though at the time TFT relative to the DSTN has a great advantage, but because of technical problems, TFT LCD on response time, brightness and the viewing Angle and a large gap with the traditional CRT display, coupled with very low yield lead to its high price, make the desktop TFT LCD becomes unreachable objects.However, with the continuous development of technology, the yield of constantly improve, with the emergence of some new technology, makes the TFT LCD in response time, contrast, brightness, has made great progress in visual Angle, pull close the gap with the traditional CRT display.
Early LCD in brightness, response time, contrast can not reach the requirements of the mainstream display, the response time of some products in more than 50 ms, trailing phenomenon is serious, only suitable for the moving image performance requirements is not high, these limitations also limits the LCD in the mainstream market promotion.But with the progress of technology, technology of mature gradually, TFT panel LCD monitor the response time of the obtained very big development, the current mainstream products are under 25 ms products, and even some manufacturers launched 16 ms response time of LCD display.At the same time, the LCD monitor has made great strides in brightness and contrast, and the TFT - LCD has reached a level of 1) and a vertical Angle of 170 degrees.2) display brightness to 500 nett, contrast 500:1;3) life spans more than 30,000 hours.
On the LCD display effect, due to the ascension of brightness contrast, most LCD monitors have realistic effects and CRT display, and because the response time greatly ascend, LCD display more and more suitable for more applications, 16 ms response time of LCD and even in the heat of the game and no residual shadows of tail phenomenon, has been accepted by some game enthusiasts.


Micro tilt level(spirit level tool)
The horizontal line of sight is obtained by means of a slightly inclined spiral. Its pipe level has small division value and high sensitivity. The telescope is connected with the tube level as a whole. The pipe level is slightly tilted in the vertical plane by virtue of the slightly tilted screw, which is consistent with the centering of the level and the horizontal line of sight.
Automatic Anping(spirit level tool)
Horizontal line of sight is obtained with the help of automatic leveling compensator. When the line of sight of the telescope tilts slightly, the compensator moves the telescope relatively under the action of gravity, so as to quickly obtain the scale reading when the line of sight is horizontal. This instrument has higher work efficiency and stable precision than the micro tilt level.

With lighting equipment accounting for a good portion of a project’s FF&E budget, Healthcare Design explores how healthcare organizations are investing in designs that pay off.
Excerpted from Healthcare Design:
HOK recently collaborated with a lighting manufacturer to develop a bedside exam light with an integral LED reading lamp. The fixture is recessed in the ceiling at either side of the patient bed so no light shines in the patient’s eyes, eliminating the glare and discomfort of traditional fixtures. “The lamp’s tight beam functions similarly to an airplane reading lamp and allows patients to read without disturbing sleeping family members within the room,” said Mark Banholzer, senior healthcare designer based in HOK’s Chicago office.
Banholzer says HOK selects fixtures that don’t look like what you might expect in healthcare. “As long as we can achieve the required illuminance level and the fixture can be cleaned and maintained easily, we’re open to using nontraditional lighting options,” he said. For example, HOK’s typical lighting design approach is to minimize the visual impact created by fixtures so that the light itself becomes the expression. “A combination of form, texture, and colored surfaces—washed or enhanced with light—creates a rich and varied visual environment,” he said.
Within lighting source selections, the healthcare industry is seeing a noted increase in solid state lighting, or LEDs. “This was not the case even two years ago, but we have now reached the tipping point in LED lighting where every lighting system in a healthcare facility can use the technology,” said Tom Kaczkowski, director of lighting design based in HOK’s St. Louis office.
In fact, Kaczkowski says that major lighting manufacturers have embraced LED technology, greatly extending their lighting fixture palettes and offering designers systems for pinpoint accent lighting, grazing textured surfaces, or softly washing broad architectural planes. “Most LED systems are also dimmable out of the box, permitting cost-effective daylight harvesting, load shedding, or simple preset high/medium/low lighting level settings,” he says.


Solar park Netherlands - additional security through intelligent camera technology

Use your HERO series GoPro with the universal adapter. This kit comes with the 34mm HERO tab with alignment template & universal adapter (camera not included). Simply mount the tab to the lens shield/cover centered over the lens. The lens cover on the HERO series cameras can easily be traded out or replaced. If you do not want the tab on the camera all the time you will want to purchase a separate lens cover to mount the HERO tab to. We ship with USPS first class mail.


I haven’t used one yet, but this thing is fascinating to me. I love that they’ve made a camera with a totally new form factor rather than trying to cram the technology into something that looks familiar.
Writes Sam Grobart for The New York Times:
Where a traditional image sensor (as in your point-and-shoot or DSLR) can only record where light strikes the sensor surface, Lytro’s image sensor can also record the angle that beam of light had when it struck it. By capturing that information, the sensor can pull in far more data about an image, allowing you to move through the picture, clicking and refocusing along the way.
There are additional advantages to a lightfield sensor. By capturing the angle of light beams, all pictures shot with a Lytro camera are natively 3-D (you still need a 3-D display and glasses, but the information’s already there). More importantly, the camera no longer has to focus because it’s capturing every focal point, which means there’s no focus lag. The camera can respond almost instantly to a shutter-release button.
And it has 8x optical zoom.
The downside is that it won’t be available until early 2012, and the cheapest version will be $399 (for the 8GB model, which can store about 350 pictures).
The Lytro only works with Macs, but Windows software is in development.
Imagine anything not made by Apple going that route even just 5 years ago.
Update: This Is My Next gave it a try and said that it’s “not universally amazing”, but also notes that it’s still a prototype version that they tested out.

Optovue AngioVue OCT Angiography
OCTA or Optical Coherence Tomography Angiography
What is OCTA Imaging and why use it?
OCTA is the only non-invasive method for our eye doctors to see your retina’s vascular structures.1 In the past, doctors used fluorescein angiography – which uses injections of contrast dye. Those dye injections were associated with range of side effects and produced limited imaging results.2 The AngioVue OCTA used in our office produces clear images in seconds and does it without needing dye injections.
Our doctors ability to visualize your the vascular structures of your retina give us a clearer picture of the overall health of your eyes.

Digital Retinal Photography
We offer state of the art digital retinal photography using the Canon CR-1 Mark II Digital Retinal Camera. This gives us a more complete view of the back of your eye (the retina) than has previously been possible.
What is Digital Retinal Photography?
Digital Retinal Photography is new technology that represents the latest in eye disease detection. It allows us to more thoroughly evaluate your retina, the sensitive tissue in your eye that is responsible for vision. The retina is susceptible to a variety of diseases, which can lead to vision loss.
Why do I need this test?
Digital Retinal Photography gives us a more comprehensive way of viewing your eyes than was previously available and it allows us to perform a more thorough exam. As it adds to our ability to evaluate the health of your eyes, it is especially important if you have headaches, spots or flashes, a family history of glaucoma, diabetes or macular degeneration, high blood pressure, elevated cholesterol, or arthritis.
Is it covered by insurance?
While insurance plans provide basic vision or eye health coverage, they do not currently include this advanced diagnostic testing. However, if your doctor determines digital retinal photographs are medically necessary, we will file this service through your medical insurance carrier.
Scans the back of the eye and assist in the diagnosis and management of retinal eye disease and conditions, such as glaucoma, macular degeneration and retinal lesions. It provides full color, 3-dimensional images and more detailed information than previously available. This information is invaluable in determining the treatment process.
The OptoVue RTVue OCT (optical coherent technology) completes 26,000 A-scans per second, or 65 times faster than prior technology. This is like comparing an old-style black-and-white analog television to today’s high-definition flat screen television. The faster speed provides an extremely high resolution for more accurate diagnosis of hidden eye conditions. This device provides color mapping of the optic nerve, retina and macula. This mapping establishes the presence and severity of a condition, such as glaucoma.
The OptoVue RTVue OCT is not unlike a CAT scan, but without the dye injections, loud noises or a claustrophobic tunnel. This new instrument is an ultra-high speed, high-resolution scanner for retinal imaging and analysis that is revolutionizing retinal diagnosis.
This non-invasive procedure takes about 15 minutes to complete and is covered by most insurance programs and Medicare.
Peripheral Vision Testing
Peripheral vision testing is important to detect for problems associated with the eye, optic nerve and brain. The Humphrey Visual Field Analyzer is the standard in visual field instrumentation.
Your routine exam will include a visual field screening utilizing the Humphrey FDT Perimeter Visual Field. This new frequency doubling technology provides a very fast and clinically verified means of detecting early visual field loss. It is especially helpful in detecting glaucoma but may also detect other neurological disorders.
For more advanced visual fields we use the Humphrey-Zeiss HFA visual field analyzer. Our screening visual fields or other findings during the exam may dictate the need for advanced visual fields to more accurately diagnose problems with peripheral vision. It is the accepted standard of care in glaucoma diagnosis and management. Validated by decades of research and clinical experience, the Humphry-Zeiss HFA is the “gold standard” for advanced visual field testing.
Corneal topography is non-invasive medical imaging technique for mapping the curvature of the cornea, the outer structure at the front of the eye. The Medmont E300 Corneal Topgrapher is a renowned market leader. Since the cornea is normally responsible for some 70% of the eye’s refractive power, its curvature is of critical importance in determining the quality of vision and can be used to assist in difficult contact lens fitting, refractive surgery, orthokeratology, keratoconus and scleral lenses. This device utilizes the most current contact lens fitting software to help design your contact lenses.
Digital imaging systems are used to view and capture high quality contrast images of your eye. Utilizing the newest Huvitz ReSeeVit HR Elite Digital Camera your doctors can properly manage and identify problems on the front surface of your eye. Some common conditions are viral infections, corneal foreign bodies, and corneal ulcers can be digitally documented in your records.
A modern device, which combines the most advanced refractive technologies and digital testing. It is designed for accurately determining the optical error of your eye and your best corrected vision. It can help determine and identify the degree of astigmatism and strabismus (eye muscle imbalance). Your prescription will be measured utilizing the modern Huvitz Digital HDR 7000 Refractor.

Laser Cataract Refractive Surgery
OMNI Eye Specialists is proud to be one of the first Maryland practices to offer Femtosecond Laser Cataract Refractive Surgery.
Ivan H. Garcia, M.D., provides patients with this premium cataract surgery experience utilizing the advanced CATALYS® Precision Laser System.
Designed specifically for laser cataract surgery, we are very pleased to be utilizing this technology for our patients.
The CATALYS Precision Laser System is indicated for use in patients undergoing cataract surgery for removal of the crystalline lens. Intended uses in cataract surgery include anterior capsulotomy, phacofragmentation, and the creation of single plane and multi-plane arc cuts/incisions in the cornea,
each of which may be performed either individually or consecutively during the same procedures.
Key Benefits for Patients
- Customization with 3D Imaging, like a fingerprint, every eye has a unique size and shape.
- Prior to treatment, the CATALYS Laser images your eye and makes a precise 3D map of relevant structures.
- Enables your surgeon to create a tailored treatment plan that is uniquely customized for your eye.
OMNI doctors can use the CATALYS Laser to create laser precise incisions, including circular opening in the lens capsule to access and remove the cataract. This precise incision helps your surgeon place the new artificial lens exactly where intended.
Many of the steps of cataract surgery that are traditionally performed using handheld instruments can now be completed using the precision of a laser. The CATALYS Precision Laser System – developed in the heart of Silicon Valley – is designed specifically for laser cataract surgery. Thousands of patients have been treated with the CATALYS Laser.
Before Your Surgery
Before your surgery, our team will discuss various types of lens implants with you. How you see after surgery will depend on the type of lens implant used. It is vital that you discuss your lifestyle and vision expectations so that we can determine the right premium lens implant for you.
During Your Surgery
Cataract surgery is relatively “patient-friendly.” It is usually performed as an outpatient procedure requiring only a few minutes. “Phacoemulsification” is the microsurgical technique used. It requires a tiny incision and breaks up the cataract with ultrasound waves.
- Eye drops are applied for anesthesia.
- The surgeon makes an incision and uses ultrasound waves to break up the hard, yellow proteins that form the cataract, leaving the lens membrane in place.
- Next, a soft, flexible synthetic Intraocular Lens (IOL) is inserted into the lens capsule of the eye.
- The lens is a permanent fixture that helps your eye to focus. You will not be able to feel or sense the implanted lens in any way.
After Your Surgery
Because there are no needles or injections, only a tiny incision, stitches and an eye patch are not required after the surgery. In most cases, the incision is so small that the eye heals rapidly, with little or no discomfort, and the patient experiences a quick visual recovery. Patients can typically return to normal activities within a few days. The following video describes some symptoms patients may experience directly after their cataract surgery.

Masking out the intense bright light a star so that the dim reflected light of its planets, especially small earth-like ones, can be seen is no easy task. As mentioned in an earlier post, a starshade is a specially designed occulter that blocks a star’s light in a way that greatly reduces the diffraction around its edges. A starshade would be placed in space so that a telescope thousands of kilometers from it could observe planets around a distant star.
New Worlds Mission is a starshade project that has done early studies but has not been funded for implementation of an exoplanet observation system. This article provides more details on starshades: Incredible Technology: Giant Starshade Could Help Find an Alien Earth | Space.com
As it stands now, the assumed $1 billion mission would be able to target about 55 bright stars in a three-year span. [Sara Seager], the chair of NASA’s science and technology definition team for the starshade project, thinks it’s possible to find Earth-like planets orbiting 22 of those 55 stars targeted by the mission.
One major advantage to the starshade is that astronomers won’t need to couple it with a large, extremely expensive space telescope. By blocking out the light of a star before that light ever reaches the telescope, the starshade eliminates the need for a huge telescope, Seager said.
“You don’t need a very fancy telescope that’s highly thermally and mechanically stable,” Seager told Space.com. “You can use any old space telescope. We can buy a telescope. That’s what we’re thinking of. … It sounds a little funny, but any telescope will do.”

Advanced Thermal Imaging Camera with MSX and UltraMax Technologies, 24° Lens and FLIR Tools+, 384 x 288, 30 Hz
The FLIR E8524KIT Advanced Thermal Imaging Camera with MSX and UltraMax Technologies, 24° Lens and FLIR Tools+, 384 x 288, 30 Hz offers superior sensitivity and a true 42° field of view in a user-friendly, handheld platform with appropriate lenses (sold separately). This camera can detect even subtle indications of building deficiencies and moisture intrusion, and offers on-screen area measurement, so that you can easily quantify and document air leaks, moisture, and other building problems.
Your job can take you up ladders and into crawl-spaces, so you need tools that can be used one-handed and worry-free. FLIR designed E85-24-KIT to be tough enough to use every day, with simplified buttons and intuitive screens that allow you to focus on your work, instead of on the camera controls.
The E85-24-KIT produces standard radiometric JPEGs that can be opened and viewed without proprietary software. Image files produced by the E85-24-KIT are supported by FLIR's Software Development Kit (ATLAS SDK), so that companies can use their own software and still support thermal measurement read-outs, METERLiNK data, and other important parameters embedded within the image; embedded current and voltage measurements are also accessible.
Electrical and Mechanical Applications
The FLIR E85-24-KIT offers the superior resolution and range performance needed to quickly identify hot spots and discover potential points of failure in electrical distribution and mechanical systems. With up to E85-24-KIT pixel resolution and a larger, more vibrant LCD screen, the E85-24-KIT makes it easier than ever to diagnose problems, even at a distance. Avoid costly shutdowns and lost production time through regular predictive maintenance routines with this rugged, intuitive camera.Multiple Targets, One Solution
Not every target is large enough or close enough for proper measurement with a single lens. That is why FLIR designed the E85-24-KIT with interchangeable 24°, 42°, and 14° lenses, so that you can use the same camera for every target you survey. The camera auto-calibrates with each new lens to ensure it produces high-quality images and precise thermal measurements.
Multi-Spectral Dynamic Imaging (MSX) Technology adds visible spectrum definition to IR images by detecting the edges of objects. Text becomes clearly visible so that you can read a label or identifier within the IR image. This exclusive function provides extraordinary thermal detail that instantly highlights and orients problem locations and eliminates the need to refer back to a visual image for detail.
UltraMax is an image enhancement technology in the E85-24-KIT that captures a series of thermal images and combines the data into one new image. The result is an impressive quadrupling of thermal pixels, including full radiometric measurement data.
As a result, UltraMax thermal images will be clearer and larger, allowing for a better analysis of small details. Because of an increased number of pixels covering the same target area, UltraMax also decreases measurement spot size. This gives greater measurement accuracy to particularly small details. With the new UltraMax feature, users can obtain even better results, allowing them to be even more productive.
UltraMax is a type of superresolution, a technique for combining the information from multiple original images into an image with higher resolution and less noise. This might seem similar to two other scaling techniques - interpolation and pixel averaging. However, they are totally different.
UltraMax uses the natural movement of the human body to capture an image set in which each image is slightly offset from the others. This results in a wealth of data that is much greater than any one image could provide. The data is combined to form an image that includes many more pixels of the target, resulting in a resolution greater than that of the original camera detector. The data is also used to create a clearer image, since pixel noise can be reduced through comparing similar points in multiple images.
FLIR UltraMax captures 16 thermal images in less than one second. These are stored on the camera as a single jpg file, and will appear as one image when viewed on the camera or in software. In the FLIR Tools environment, you can choose to enhance the image resolution. This is the UltraMax functionality. The enhanced image will have twice the original resolution and four times as many pixels. All pixels still include radiometric data, just as with normal FLIR thermal images.
As a result, UltraMax thermal images will be clearer and larger, allowing better analysis of small details. Because of an increased number of pixels covering the same target area, UltraMax also decreases measurement spot size. This gives greater measurement accuracy to particularly small details.

We missed this announcement during the CES shuffle, but Adam actually brought it to our attention. Metabones is a new optics company that has created a lens adapter for Canon and Nikon lenses for use on Sony E-mount cameras (like the NEX series). Other unofficial lenses exist to bridge those standards, but what makes Metabones' different is the inclusion of proprietary optics--a focal reducer--in the adapter that adjusts the light coming from the lens. This basically acts like an inverted optical zoom, shrinking the image coming into the objective lens to fit into the APS-C sensor. With other adapters, you have to settle for some additional cropping when using a non-standard lens, but Metabones claims that its adapter will give you full coverage of your Canon EF or Nikon FX lens (full-frame only), in addition to granting an extra stop of light. That means a 35mm f/1.4 lens that would otherwise be cropped to 50mm effectively becomes a 35mm f/1.0 lens on your E-mount APS-C camera. That's wild.
Metabones began taking pre-orders last week ($600), and early reviews with both photos and video show that there isn't much tradeoff in image quality when using the lens--corner sharpness only takes a small hit. Adam actually has one coming in for his own E-mount cameras, so we'll be shooting a video demonstration of the adapter in the near future.
If Metabones' system proves to be as good as it sounds on paper, it would make owning both a compact mirrorless system like Sony's NEX or Panasonic/Olympus' Micro 4/3rds (speed booster adapters for MFT coming later) much more viable as a companion camera to a high-end full-frame Canon or Nikon kit. That way, you can buy just the MILC body and invest in full-frame lenses for your DSLR.

2 Facts Individuals Do Certainly Not Recognize About LASIK Eye Surgical OperationThe eye can be examined with relative ease regarding both its function and its structure. A functional assessment consists of the ability to relocate the orbit and the reaction of the student to light and lodging.
The function of the eye may be tested in several methods. The patient might be asked to determine illuminated letter or items of differing sizes on what is called the Snellen chart.
Conversely, the assessment of the structural part of the eye might be made in several ways. Tension within the eyeball is measured by a "tonometer." In particular diseases, especially in glaucoma, the stress in the eyeball is increased markedly.
It needs to be well remembered that a patient with an eye problem may have other issues. Often other physical conditions are main and impact the eye as a repercussion. The appearance of the eye can notify the doctor and the patient to troubles in some disruptions of other parts of the body even before other symptoms present themselves.
One's dependence on sight is highlighted when one faces a short-term or possible permanent loss of this essential sense. When restorative procedures are sought, certain kinds of vision correction such as contact lenses or spectacles are prescribed.
On the other hand, some individuals are troubled with that they have actually some framed lenses or contact lenses in front of their eyes.
For this reason, advanced surgical operations were established to encourage reduced utilization of contact lenses or glasses. Among which is the now popular LASIK eye surgical treatment.
Basically, LASIK eye surgical treatment is the short-term for "Laser-Assisted In Situ Keratomileusis." Like its tangible counterpart, LASIK eye surgical treatment is another kind of vision correction. The only distinction is that with this kind of surgery, one's vision is remedied permanently.
With LASIK eye surgical treatment, the refractive mistakes in the cornea are permanently transformed. This can be done utilizing an "excimer laser."
The primary function of this surgical treatment is to create a threadlike, rounded "flap" in the cornea utilizing a blade known as "microkeratome." In a series of unfolding and laser processing, the cornea is lastly reformed, enabling better the eye to direct more light into the retina.
Appeal vs. Disadvantages
Amidst the growing appeal of LASIK eye surgical treatment, there are still disadvantages that people should know. Most likely, the main reason this type of eye surgical treatment has actually ended up being well accepted is due to the fact that most of its cases had succeeded.
However, in spite of its success, there are still some downsides. Here is the list:
1. It is an operation applied to the most delicate part of the eye
Since LASIK eye surgery includes the operation of the retina, which is among the most delicate portions of the eye, the majority of people say that the operation can be really risky.
In other words, a basic mistake might nearly trigger an individual's life time blindness. Hence, it is essential to think about numerous aspects before choosing whether LASIK eye surgery is the ideal corrective step one needs to go through.
2. It is not a perfect procedure
LASIK eye surgical treatment may correct your vision but it does not always suggest that it can give you a twenty-twenty. Even if statistical reports reveal that 70% of the clients may have 20/20 vision, this does not always suggest they have ideal vision as well.
Offered all imp source these things, it can be deduced that, in spite of the appeal of the operation, LASIK may not constantly be the ideal eye surgery the method many people view it
Conversely, the examination of the structural part of the eye may be made in numerous ways. It must be well remembered that a patient with an eye problem may have other issues. Typically other physical conditions are main and impact the eye as a repercussion. The appearance of the eye can notify the patient and the physician to troubles in some disturbances of other parts of the body even prior to other symptoms present themselves.
Like its tangible equivalent, LASIK eye surgical treatment is another form of vision correction.


Recently, Apple unveiled its much-anticipated mixed-reality headset, the Apple Vision Pro, at the Worldwide Developers Conference 2023 (WWDC). The headset has sparked a great deal of interest. However, some glasses wearers had expressed concerns about its compatibility with prescription glasses.
In response, Apple had said that the Vision Pro would support optical inserts that would be provided by German camera and lens company Zeiss. The lens maker has now provided a first look at its prescription lenses for the headset, which will be available in the United States next year.
Zeiss provided a glimpse of the optical inserts on its website. The company said the magnetic lenses will let users who wear spectacles use the Vision Pro headset without any hindrance.
While Zeiss did not reveal the price of the optical inserts, Bloomberg's Mark Gurman had estimated a pair of Zeiss prescription glasses for the Apple Vision Pro could cost at least $300 (roughly Rs 24,700) and could go as high as $600 (roughly Rs 49,500). Zeiss said its optical inserts for Apple Vision Pro will be available early next year in the US. Zeiss and Apple have not made any announcements regarding the launch date of the lenses in India.
Customers who require vision correction and wish to use Apple's upcoming Vision Pro mixed reality headset could end up spending around $4,000 (roughly Rs 2,86,600), as the headset itself is priced at $3,499 (roughly Rs 3,25,100).
Launched at the WWDC, the Apple Vision Pro will be available in the US beginning in 2024. It features VisionOS and has two ultra-high-resolution micro-OLED screens. It also introduces a three-dimensional user interface controlled by a user's eyes, hands, and voice. Vision Pro will run on M2 and R1 chipsets manufactured by Apple.

Intel® RealSense™ Depth Camera D455.
HOW IT’S DIFFERENT:
Stereo depth works in a wide variety of lighting conditions. With its long range, enhanced accuracy and easy deployment, the D455 camera is a powerful tool that can be used for both indoor and outdoor applications.
Prior to this new release, the fastest frame rate that the Kinect depth cameras could offer was 30 frames per second. With the release of the D455 camera, it has now been increased to 90 frames per second. This not only enables the capture of high speed movements and objects but means we are performing about three times more depth calculations per second and therefore enables us to increase the accuracy of our measurements and analysis.
WHY IT’S IMPORTANT:
The D455 camera increases the optimal range to 6 meters, without sacrificing field of view. The D455 also includes global shutters for the depth and RGB sensors to improve correspondence between the two different data streams and to match the field of view between the depth sensors and the RGB sensor.
HOW IT WORKS AND ACCURACY:
The D455 achieves less than 2% Z-error at 4 meters (13 feet) with several improvements. First, the depth sensors are located 95 millimeters apart, providing greater depth accuracy at a longer range. Second, the depth and RGB sensors are placed on the same stiffener, resulting in an improved alignment of color and depth. Lastly, the RGB sensor has the same field of view as the depth sensors, further improving correlation of depth and color points.

Optics supported by artificial intelligence – neural holographic display
Scientists have developed a way to realistically reproduce reality in holograms. The display segment and AR technology could be revolutionized by new calibrations related to artificial intelligence. Opticians have decided to use AI to increase computing power without changing the specifications of the devices themselves. The results are very promising!
What defect do realistic holographic visualizations face today? Portal scitechdaily.com points out that they are unrealistic because they are shown as 2D renderings, and the human eye, in very large, organic terms, is accustomed to feeling depth in the image that surrounds it. 3D display technology based on laser light performs poorly in this aspect and suffers from so-called. specularity, as the nature of the laser light beam is unable to carry such an information payload to our retina. The problem is also the limited possibility to influence the appearance of the light wave, compared to e.g. to frames presented on LCD screens. This fact affects the rather poor resolution of such an image.
Science Advances has published a study that details describe mottle distortion in laser-based holographic displays, while discussing a technique to reduce it.
Gordon Wetzstein, associate professor of electrical engineering and head of the Stanford Computational Imaging Lab, and his team are working on something more revolutionary. They are engaged in solutions that will fill the void between simulation and reality. For now, their efforts are focused on creating displays that are more visually appealing and more pleasing to the eyes than the existing ones we use.
Physics is the key to success
The Scitech Daily article also points out another major drawback of holographic screens. It is Lack of possibility to reproduce real physical reality, what is related to m.in. with the delay registered by the eye between events and the shape of the image emitted by the source. The solution to this issue turns out to be artificial intelligence.
The role of artificial intelligence in the holographic process
Yifan Peng of the Stanford Computational Imaging Lab, as an optician and computer scientist proposed the implementation of a new technology – optical engine. This one is expected to drive modern holographic displays.
– It is only with the recent innovations in machine intelligence that we have gained access to powerful tools and opportunities to take advantage of advances in computer technology – said the scientist and co-author of the SIGGRAPH article.
An artificial intelligence-based engine is to implement machine learning in action similar to that known for our brains. The neural network is to mimic physics in real time and return the image in simultaneous looping, which will enhance the perception of realistic perception. Instant feedback is also information for the algorithm to correct and improve the image that encounters problems. This is how the calibration technique that works in real time and also reacts to the present image seen by our eyes.
Researchers, by testing such technology, have been able to create more realistic-looking visualizations with better colors, contrast and clarity than ever before. The technology has been identified a neural holographic display.
LED in holograms?
Camera looping optimization, coupled with an AI-inspired algorithm is to use LEDs and SLEDs. They are cheap, not too big and energy efficient. Classifying the technics, these bulbs can be classified as partially coherent light sources, as opposed to a coherent laser.
LED light improves display stability and avoids spots and mottling, but causes image blur and poor contrast. Hence the need for an algorithm specific to the physics of partially coherent light sources.
In a word of summary..
In general, delving into this technology may lead to reflections on the very way of seeing on different kinds of surfaces. It was described in a very interesting way by biecek.en in words: “Two shades of gray may or may not be distinguishable on a computer screen, and behave quite differently on a printed. In the case of computer screens we usually have much higher image contrast than in the case of print, but at the price of lower resolution. Most modern computer screens have a resolution in the range of 100-300 pixels per inch, laser printers have a print resolution of 600-2400 dots per inch.”
Interesting insights are also provided by interview with Małogrzata Osowiecka , itvip portal.pl referred to as “an expert on the brain, not the eyes,” in which she argued that pScreen brightness is harmful to the eyes, its curvature is required as well as that the number of hertz matters When it comes to image processing by the brain.
Holograms are also to be used in advertisements.
And also we can display our holographic images ourselves, using the application!
Mobile Trends wishes you interesting insights and fun!


LIQUID PHASE LASER INDUCED BREAKDOWN SPECTROSCOPY
DTE's EA-2000 determines elemental concentration directly from the molten aluminum or aluminum alloy, by firing a sequence of laser pulses on the liquid metal surface.
DTE's proprietary and patent pending improvements to industry standard laser-induced break- down spectroscopy (LIBS) solves the challenge of continuously performing immediate and accurate elemental analysis directly from the high temperature liquid metal surface.
The current practice of elemental analysis in aluminum smelters involves manual sampling of liquid metal that is cast into a mold, solidified, quenched, trimmed, machined and analyzed in a laboratory, typically using optical emission spectroscopy (OES).
By replacing costly and time consuming batch sampling with real-time analysis, DTE’s unique solution presents huge cost-saving and value enhancing opportunities.
Immediate and accurate elemental analysis
As the EA-2000 is measuring directly in the melt, it can monitor real-time concentration changes that would be difficult or impossible to capture using conventional sampling methods.
Limit of detection (LOD) is well within working range for elemental analysis and error with respect to reference is unprecedented for in-line analysis.
How does LIBS work?
LIBS uses a highly energetic laser pulse to excite the liquid metal surface to form a plasma plume with temperatures in excess of 100,000 K.
A sensor detects the atomic emission spectra-- characteristic frequencies -- of each element in the material being analyzed, which are then converted into a quantitative reading.
This contactless process reduces the expense of replacement probes used by other methods.


Leica 75 Noctilux M F1.25 Asph
It’s always exciting receiving a new lens from Leica for testing. Unlike the camera bodies it is often a long time from prototype testing until the lens is introduced. I’ve had several versions of the 75 Noctilux over an 18 month period. It seems that one of the biggest challenges of lens development is to turn the perfect prototype into a perfect production lens.
I tested the most recent lens for about 3 months, it went back to Leica in February 2017. All the lenses seemed to behave perfectly from an optical point of view without a perceptible difference in quality, and although I’ve not spent any time with a production copy I imagine that they are very similar.
When looking at the images in this article it should be borne in mind that they have been shot with a prototype lens.
The Way Up
ISO 100 1/350th Leica M10
The original 50 Noctilux (f1.2) arrived in 1966 during a period when the major manufacturers were all racing to produce fast standard lenses. These lenses were powerful weapons in the photojournalists armament, principally because film speeds were so much slower than the ISO values available to digital photographers today.
The advances in the production of aspherical elements, higher quality glass and precision production technology has helped to produce better and faster lenses and these have usually been bigger and heavier as well.
It’s worth noting that, large as this lens certainly is, it’s around the same weight as the Zeiss Otus 55mm f1.4 and a bit lighter than the Ziess Otus 85mm f1.4 (1200 gm against 1055 gm for the Noctilux). The diameter at 90mm is roughly the same as the Otus lenses, but the Noctilux is considerably shorter at 101mm (the Otus 50 is 140mm long).
It could be argued that with the sensitivity of modern digital cameras (certainly a 4-stop advantage over film) that the need for fast lenses is over. However, the possibilities of shooting in very low light, and the attraction of very limited depth of field has increased the market for high quality wide aperture lenses.
It's a family affair
ISO 200 1/180th Leica M10
ISO 100 1/4000th Leica M10
The Noctilux 75 f1.25
It is a logical design development from a 50 mm lens to a 75mm. This is can be seen in the pairing of Walter Mandler’s 50 Summilux, and his much acclaimed 75 Summilux of 1980 (said to be his favorite lens). More recently Peter Karbe’s 50 mm Summilux Asph and the 75 mm APO Summicron (certainly my favorite lens). Similarly, the new 75 Noctilux is a design sibling of the Leica Noctilux f0.95.
The Maximum aperture of f1.25 is a function of the entrance pupil, the focal length and the 67mm front element. The lens has 2 aspherical elements, and the slightly smaller aperture and field of view (75 vs 50) both allow the 75 Noctilux to perform even better than the 50 Noctilux.
A group of 3 elements floating nearest to the camera eliminate the problem of focus shift, but also ensure that the lens can make better quality images at the shortest distance of 0.85m (the minimum focus distance of the 50 Noctilux f0.95 is 1metre)

There are some interesting articles about the lens on the Leica website and blog:
Here is the website article:
https://uk.leica-camera.com/Photography/Leica-M/M-Lenses/Noctilux-M-75-f-1,25-ASPH (including a download of the technical data and MTF figures).
Here is a Blog post with an interview with Peter Karbe:
Best Friends. Right?
ISO 200 1/125th Leica M10
Depth of field, bokeh and isolation
Recently I’ve seen quite a lot of criticism of very short depth of field as a concept, but very little criticism of images which use it as a device. Personally, I like to use it; it’s often useful to concentrate on details, and a limited depth of field and smooth bokeh helps with this.
The human eye is the ultimate expert at ‘focus stacking’, and most of the time we see everything in focus, from infinity to right up close. Shoot the 75 Noctilux wide open at a couple of meters and the in-focus area is limited to millimeters. It is another tool in the photographer’s bag, and the new Noctilux does it so very well; the roll off between sharp and out of focus areas is gentle, both in front of the point of focus and behind it. And then the in focus area is so very sharply in focus!
ISO 200 1/125th Leica M10
Traditionally the classic portrait lens is the fast 85mm, but the 75mm has been my favorite for some time, modern high resolution sensors mean that it’s possible to crop, and fast lenses like this new Noctilux mean that you can control the depth of field very easily.
During my testing of the lens I was careful to look out for chromatic aberration (purple fringing) and flare, in both cases the lens performs really well, CA is kept to an absolute minimum (better than the 50 Noctilux in my experience) and flare seems to be well controlled as well.
No Hidden Path
ISO 100 1/1500th Leica M10
This 75 and that 75
Whilst I was testing the Noctilux I made a detailed comparison between the new lens, the 75 APO Summicron and Mandler’s 75 f1.4 Summilux (thank you for the loan Cam Wilder). It was a fascinating comparison, especially in the light of the perceptions of the internet community, which seems to be that the 75 APO f2 is ‘clinical’ and the 75 Summilux is just wonderful.
From an objective point of view there seems to be a perfectly sensible development from the 75 Summilux through the 75 APO to the new Noctilux. The sharpness gets better (especially wide open), the roll off between in focus and out of focus improves, and the quality of the bokeh is softer and less busy. All of this doesn’t detract from the charms of the 75 f1.4 (I still love the ‘look’). From a technical point of view however the new Noctilux is a clear winner, and from an aesthetic point of view there absolutely no room for complaint.
ISO 100 1/125th Leica M10
Practicality and focusing
The 75 Noctilux is a heavy lens (just over a kilogram), but it’s relatively compact and handles well on an M10 body (and of course on the Leica Sl).
The existence of the Leica SL and the Visoflex EVF on the M10 have made the development of lenses like the new Noctilux more practical. The Leica articles do rather suggest that you should be using either the Visoflex on the M10 or the SL. However, I’ve found it relatively easy to focus with the excellent new rangefinder on the M10 (which is how the majority of pictures in this article have been taken). Of course, there are occasions when you might not nail focus wide open, but that doesn’t detract from the charm of the rendering (and it is charming).
This is the Picture (Excellent Birds)
ISO 500 1/250 Leica M10
Clearly this is a specialist lens, for an M lens it’s relatively large, expensive and heavy. Focusing it wide open on an M camera requires some practice (unless you use the EVF), on the SL the focusing is even more straightforward. Either way the rewards are obvious; resulting images are wonderfully sharp right from f1.25 and the out of focus areas are soft and subtle, both in front and behind the point of focus. Transition areas (often the weak point on very fast lenses) are gentle and well under control.

How Does an Optical Strain Gauge Work?
As science and engineering improve, technology and materials become lighter, faster, stronger, and more efficient. The need for smaller and more reliable instrumentation grows as fast as the technology using it. This has driven the development of optical strain gauges. Optical strain gauges offer a low-profile solution to measure strains over large surfaces, allowing for further advances in instrumentation capability.
An optical strain gauge, or fiber optic strain sensor, is a device that uses fiber optic technology to measure the strain experienced by an object. It detects changes in light transmission when the object attached to it is loaded. Its small size, often the diameter of a human hair, makes it practical in tight spaces while still maintaining the ability to measure thousands of locations over several meters.
Fiber Optic Technology
Fiber optic cables, or fiber optic lines, are very thin strands of glass capable of transmitting signals across long distances. They have revolutionized the way people access the Internet, view television, and even make phone calls.
Fiber optic lines consist of three main parts (See Figure 1). The core is a bundle of hair-thin glass strands that transmit the signal via light waves. The cladding is a reflective glass that bounces light waves back into the core. This is critical for signals to travel long distances without the need for the cable to be oriented in a straight line. Lastly, the buffer is a protective coating of plastic or rubber that prevents environmental damage.
When an object experiences an applied force, it has a tendency to change shape. This is called deformation. Picture a fishing pole bending under the weight of a fish, or a rubber ball flattening when being stepped on. These bodies deform when subjected to large enough loads.
This deformation of objects is the primary principle strain gauges use to quantify loads and forces. Strain is defined as the ratio of the change in length of a material in the direction of an applied force, to the original length in that direction.
When the material properties of a load-bearing object are known, a strain gauge can quantify this load based on the recorded change in output signal. This is true for both electronic strain gauges and optical strain gauges.
Design of Optical Strain Gauges
For the fiber in an optical strain gauge to effectively detect changes in strain, it is designed differently than conventional fiber optic lines for telecommunications. The core of the cable undergoes inscription during production. These inscriptions are arranged in unique patterns called Fiber Bragg Gratings, or FBGs. They create material interference in the fiber, reflecting light differently than the rest of the core.
Think of each core strand as an extremely long glass cylinder. The FBGs behave like windows spaced out through the cylindrical fiber. When light from a laser hits each window, certain wavelengths pass through, while others reflect. When the FBGs change shape due to strain, there will be a measurable difference in the light waves transmitted. The interval at which each window, or inscription, is placed is critical for recording strain. A simple figure of a Fiber Bragg Grating can be seen below.
When the fiber is in tension, or stretched, it experiences positive strain. This means the interval between each inscription lengthens. Similarly, when the fiber is compressed, these gaps shorten, and the strain is negative.
Placing two FBGs in opposite directions allows one to read compression with its counterpart reading tension. This has benefits including partial compensation for temperature effects, because both gauges will be affected by the same thermal expansion.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Optical Strain Gauges
Strain gauges that use fiber optic technology offer several advantages over their electrical counterparts. For one, they do not need electricity or an excitation voltage to operate. This makes them suitable for environments that will experience high levels of electromagnetic interference.
Also, because they have a slim profile, they can either be embedded in structures during production, or discretely attached to the structure’s surface. In particular, when optical strain gauges are made of composites of fiberglass or carbon fiber with a resin, they can have a single strand of inscribed fiber optic line set into the structure at manufacture; this allows for internal strain measurements unattainable with conventional strain gauges. A practical application of this is in the production of aircraft structures, where such embedded optical fibers could be combined in an array to measure forces on these structures in real time.
On the other hand, the materials in optical/fiber-optic strain gauges have a relatively high coefficient of thermal expansion. Because of this, they often need to be combined with temperature sensors to compensate for temperature in their measurements.
Optical Strain Gauge Applications
Recall conventional strain gauges use an electrical element that measures a change in its resistance proportional to the mechanical strain induced by an applied force. While optical strain gauges employ a different technology than this, they can be used for similar applications.
One common application of optical strain sensors is the monitoring of long-term civil structures like bridges, buildings, tunnels, and pipelines. Long fiber-optic lines allow the distributed sensing of strain localization. As discussed in the article, Advantages and Applications of Wireless Load Cells, continuous monitoring of loads on the structure can help pinpoint damage, improve the life of the structure, and automate maintenance and inspection time.
Optical strain gauges can detect small cracks and material defects in other structures as well. They are used in static and fatigue testing of aircraft parts, wind turbine blades, and other objects.
Optical strain gauges or fiber-optic sensors measure more than just strain. They also serve as pressure sensors, temperature gauges, and vibration transducers.
The optical strain gauge is a versatile alternative to conventional electronic strain gauges. While electronic strain gauges are a mature technology, optical strain gauges continue to develop capabilities in defect detection on large buildings and structures, FEA model validation, and structural health monitoring of composite materials. They continue to be a developing technology in instrumentation. And their uses and applications are constantly expanding.

The variable zoom on this scope allows for great versatility. From hunting to target shooting to wildlife observation, the options with this scope are endless.
Another great feature which is linked with this 3-9X magnification power is the fast focus eye-piece. You can acquire your target just by rotating your fast focus eye-piece. Within a matter of seconds, your blurry reticle become crystal clear. This works great when you are in a hurry and quick action is required!
Low-light viewing is not a problem with this scopes’ 56mm objective lens. This large-sized lens allows for ample light and gives off brighter images.
On the other hand, the large objective lens also results in increasing the overall size of the scope. A heavy scope might cause problems while travelling for longer periods of time.
Fixed Parallax Adjustment
Like many other scopes, this scope has a fixed parallax adjustment. Generally, this is set at a distance of 100m. As a hunter, parallax error is not important for you and therefore a fixed parallax adjustment is good enough.
Reticle and Illumination
X-Aegis Tactical 3-9X56 scope has a range-finder reticle. This one-of-a-kind reticle is made to improve your long-range shooting accuracy. It has two parts – the center portion measured using minute of angle (MOA) and the range finding choke.
The MOA lines on the center assist in finding the range of the target. This is done by dividing the size of the target (in inches) with MOA and then multiplying this number by 100. Using this method, you will the range estimation in yards.
The range-finding choke is set at 3x magnification power. It has two curved lines tapered down and 5-6 horizontal lines which are set according to a specific range in yards. This choke easily estimates range for an average sized human target.
Red and Green Illumination
You can use your X-Aegis Tactical rifle scope in different light settings thanks to its red and green illumination feature. There are 5 intensity levels for red as well as green light. This feature improves hunting in darkness. It is also great for beginners as an illuminated reticle provides more security and self-confidence when its pitch-black outside. This illuminated reticle gets power from 1 CR 2032 battery. In case you run out of power, you can still use the black reticle.
1-inch Tube made up of Aircraft Grade Aluminum Alloy
X-Aegis is constructed using aircraft-grade aluminum alloy. This is one of the strongest materials used in the market. It does not increase the weight of the scope while keeping it sturdy at the same time.
If you plan on taking your scope out on a rainy or a foggy day, you can go ahead without any worries as this scope is both waterproof and fog proof.
Additionally, it is a shockproof scope which means that it is also able to withstand the massive recoil generated by an air rifle.
The exit pupil on X-Aegis Tactical scope is approximately 6.2mm-18.7mm. Why is this important and what benefit it has for you as a hunter or shooter?
Remember that a large exit pupil provides brighter images. The generous exit pupil available on this scope ensures that you view images that are bright and clear.
With a 6.2mm-18.7mm exit pupil, you will not face the issue of straining your eyes. Your eye will work less with a wide exit pupil range and this in turn will result in comfortable viewing for longer periods of time.
X-Aegis Tactical scope comes with 1 lens cover and 2 scope mounts for 20mm weaver dovetail rail. The lens cover keeps the objective lens protected from dust. The scope mounts help in effortlessly mounting this scope on an air rifle.
