In optogenetics, light induces neural activity in defined cell types expressing photo-sensitive microbial opsins that either generate or suppress neuronal activity. To target neurons in the brain, Spatial Light Modulators (SLMs) are used to generate 3D holographic patterns of nearly diffraction-limited or soma-sized spots. To further understand perception, neuroscientists aim to replicate naturalistic patterns of neural activity. Meadowlark Optics has developed an SLM that allows for fast switching as well as a larger field of view. In this case study, Meadowlark stress-tested their new SLM using near-IR femtosecond light pulses from our aeroPULSE FS50. The question was if the new SLM could withstand the high peak intensities from near-IR femtosecond lasers needed to stimulate a larger population of neurons. How did it go? See for yourself. https://lnkd.in/eqHmrpZC #SolutionsForInnovators #femtosecondlasers #fiberlasers #optogenetics #neuroscience

Today, one in eight women is diagnosed with breast cancer. New laser technology ensures better treatment. A lumpectomy is a breast-conserving type of surgery used to treat breast cancer. And today around a third of lumpectomy patients need follow-up surgery due to incomplete cancer removal. Going back into surgery results in increased costs, higher risks of complications, and anxiety in patients. Read how BlackLight Surgical uses lasers to reduce breast cancer follow-up surgery https://lnkd.in/ehhq5yJp #SolutionsForInnovators #CancerSurgery

💡 If you're looking for a light source for hyperspectral machine vision, pick one that gives you enough light. A high-intensity light source, such as a #SuperK laser, gives a high resolution and better signal-to-noise ratio which results in a higher throughput. Vision Spectra recently published a comprehensive article about hyperspectral machine vision. Read it at their website: https://lnkd.in/dtJSNjik Or get the summary with a SuperK supercontinuum white light laser-angle: https://lnkd.in/dSK9b_yq #SolutionsForInnovators #HyperspectralMachineVision #Sorting #SuperK

In our latest newsletter, we wrote about how laser beams can help save insects. As the decline of insects threatens our ecosystems, learning more about them is essential for their protection. But traditional methods, such as traps and nets, are invasive, time-consuming, and often unreliable. Isn't there a better way to study insects? Glad you asked... Researchers have a solution: Hyperspectral lidar! Learn more in the article and white paper "Remote Nanoscopy with Infrared Elastic Hyperspectral Lidar."
