Optical filters near infrared are among the components helping a new robotic system to ‘see’ humans caught in disaster zones, and crucially to be able to tell whether they are humans, or are simply debris. Infared imaging to locate humans in disaster zones The hugely complex project has been undertaken in Mexico at the University […]
Fluorescence filters could soon represent a simple and low-cost method by which to spot the cancerous stem cells in a tumour, thanks to their Vitamin B2 content. Early Detection A team at the Spanish National Cancer Research Centre have found a “breakthrough” in cancer stem cell detection, and it’s thanks to Vitamin B2, commonly known […]
Longwave pass filters block short wavelengths of light, allowing for their use in optical filters near infrared wavelengths. Improved observation of tumour cells With new work on bio-imaging techniques, this could lead to better views of tumour cells, or of the response of the whole body to certain drugs. A team at the German Research […]
