An analysis of the results of Land’s experiments with two-primary color projections has been carried out in terms of the known phenomena of object-color perception. It is shown that no new theory is required for the prediction of Land’s result that two-primary color projections can produce object-color perceptions of all hues; nor for his result that many choices of pairs of primaries yield substantially the same object-color perceptions. Land’s hypothesis that when the colors of the patches of light making up a scene are restricted to a one-dimensional variation of any sort, the observer usually perceives the objects in that scene as essentially without hue, is new; several special cases of it are supported by previous work as well as Land’s. This hypothesis deserves the serious attention of research workers in object-color perception.

Metal nanoparticles have unique localized surface plasmon resonance (SPR) properties due to the strong interaction of localized surface plasmon polariton (SPP) with incident light. This review will cover some of our recent theoretical and experimental studies on exploring the unique optical interaction and mechanical motion properties of plasmonic particles that originate from SPR enhanced light-matter interaction. Firstly, the efficient enhancement of both the fluorescence excitation and emission process of dye molecules by the double SPR modes (longitudinal and transverse modes) in gold nanorods, and surface plasmon amplification in metal nanoparticles with gain is discussed. Secondly, it is theoretically demonstrated that two basic physical processes of molecules interacting with light, i.e., the elastic Rayleigh scattering and inelastic Raman scattering, will strongly intertwine and correlate with each other in many plasmonic surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and tip-enhanced Raman scattering (TERS) nanosystems. Thirdly, it is experimentally shown that SPR can enhance the optical force and torque of nanoparticles embedded within non-intrusive optical tweezers. The work presented in this review shows that plasmonic particles can possess unique optical interaction and mechanical motion properties when their geometries are deliberately controlled.

Adaptive Representation of Specular Light Flux
and Pierre Poulin
Proc. Graphics Interface 2000, May 2000
Caustics produce beautiful and intriguing illumination patterns.
However, their complex behavior make them difficult to simulate
accurately in all but the simplest configurations.
To capture their appearance,
we present an adaptive approach based upon light beams. The coherence
between light rays forming a light beam greatly reduces the number of
samples required for precise illumination reconstruction.
The light beams characterize the distribution of light due to
interactions with specular surfaces (specular light flux) in 3D space,
thus allowing for the treatment of illumination
within single-scattering participating media. The hierarchical
structure enclosing the light beams possesses inherent properties
to detect efficiently every light beam reaching any 3D point,
to adapt itself according to illumination effects in the final image,
and to reduce memory consumption via caching.

RENTON, WA, June 23, 2016 – Microscan, a global manufacturer and pioneer of miniature barcode imagers and machine vision smart cameras for industrial automation, redefines imaging technology as a single, omni-capable platform for any automation task. With the scalability to accomplish basic to high-performance auto ID as well as simple to advanced machine vision in one, MicroHAWK® offers the breadth of Microscan software and hardware options on the smallest smart camera suite ever developed. The MicroHAWK family includes a fully-integrated imaging engine and three industrial-rated miniature imagers with unrivaled flexibility, ease of use, and universal application potential.
A leader in the miniaturization of industrial data acquisition technologies, Microscan founded its company and namesake with the invention of the world’s smallest and fastest laser barcode scanner in 1982 (the MS-1000). With the ability to accomplish high-performance barcode reading in the most space-restricted instruments, Microscan quickly became the leading brand of embedded barcode readers for clinical applications and has remained committed to space-efficiency in the design of its products. When the company acquired Siemens’ Machine Vision business in 2008, Microscan combined the compact form factor of its products with new and vast machine vision inspection capabilities. Microscan released the world’s smallest smart camera (Vision MINI®) on the award-winning AutoVISION® Machine Vision platform and coined the term “Auto ID+” – the first technology to go beyond barcode reading to add basic inspection tasks such as counting, measurement, OCR, and more within a single, fully-integrated device.
With the release of the MicroHAWK platform in 2015, Microscan re-engineered the form factor of its barcode reader line from the ground up to offer the industry’s most capable and intuitive barcode imagers at an incredibly small scale. These micro-sized devices offer a fully-configurable framework, allowing users to choose decoding capability, decode speed, lighting, camera lens, and sensor, and to package them into the MicroHAWK reader with the ideal dimensions, industrial rating, and connectivity required by the application. This revolutionary flexibility has laid the groundwork for even more feature combinations for MicroHAWK imagers.
Today, Microscan announces that it has now added its full range of machine vision tools to the ultra-compact MicroHAWK platform, releasing the world’s smallest fully-integrated machine vision systems. Paired with Microscan’s browser-based WebLink UI, simplified AutoVISION Machine Vision Software, or the advanced Visionscape® Machine Vision Software, MicroHAWK Smart Cameras (MV-20, MV-30, and MV-40) expand the concept of industrial imaging from barcode imaging alone to the universal imaging of any code, text, or part feature to accomplish any automation task based on visible data. MicroHAWK now provides users a single hardware solution with options to meet any decoding or inspection task, in any integration space, and at any experience level.
With the addition of machine vision, the MicroHAWK platform gains scalability beyond its selectable hardware configurations. Now users can also choose their device’s software capability to accomplish barcode reading, machine vision, or a combination of the two on a single, adaptable platform. The browser-based WebLink interface provides MicroHAWK cameras with industry-leading X-Mode decoding technology for reading any code, from high-contrast 1D to the most challenging direct part marks (DPM). This interface offers intuitive controls and does not require software installation, enabling users to integrate MicroHAWK into any system with ease. Alternately, AutoVISION software provides MicroHAWK with Auto ID+ capability for the barcode reading performance of WebLink plus a range of inspection tools offered through Microscan’s machine vision library, scalable to Visionscape for complex inspection.
The launch of MicroHAWK machine vision also ushers in the latest revision of Microscan’s AutoVISION 4.0 software, featuring an expanded toolset in a simplified interface for basic to mid-range machine vision applications. AutoVISION 4.0 adds a Circle Measure Tool for measuring features like drill holes; color tools for detecting and matching colored objects like test tube caps; support for autofocus in the MicroHAWK MV-30, MV-40, and Vision HAWK® smart cameras; and support for Microscan’s PC-based GigE (gigabit Ethernet) machine vision cameras. AutoVISION continues to be fully scalable to Microscan’s comprehensive machine vision software, Visionscape, for the most advanced inspection tasks and custom machine vision programming. With unrestricted software capability now available for MicroHAWK, users are able to address the breadth of applications image-based ID, measurement, gauging, defect-detection, and guidance from the smallest devices available.

Why use LED display screens?
This question is most often asked in comparison to projectors and projector screens. The projected image is a reflection, not a light source, so the maximum brightness you can get off of a reflection is never enough in sunlight versus a LED display screen. LED display screens are light-emitters, as opposed to standard projection screens which are light-reflectors. This means that the screen IS the light source, so you get brighter images and more vibrant colors. LED produces colors in a range greater than most video cameras are capable of capturing! Unlike projection screens, LED display screens are useable in bright environments such as convention centers, stages with full scenic lighting, and even the sunny outdoors.
Another question we get often is in comparison to flat panel television walls. In this scenario, several TV’s are butted together to make the wall. The first problem here, and probably most glaring, is the seams between the walls. Viewed side by side, the LED display screen is one large seamless screen, where the TV panel matrix’s seams are constantly, jarringly there. It’s very hard for the brain to forget that these seams are right in the middle of the image and they are a constant distraction. Another problem with them in comparison to LED display screens is their picture. The TV panels just can not produce the same amount of brightness and crispness as an LED display screen can, and that’s what attracts the eyes. With our ultra high-resolution panels, we can achieve the same HD quality and much higher brightness and contrast than any flat panel TV wall matrix.
Another huge reason to consider LED is that outdoor LED display screens are built for the weather, and can remain in service during a rainstorm. This is a huge plus for event organizers, especially in the summer when unexpected weather could develop at any time.
LED display screens are getting lighter in weight and higher resolution all the time. When you partner with Neots, we will provide the screen type that best fits your situation and budget.
What makes an LED display screen HD?
People ask all the time what makes the LED display screen HD?
As long as the screen is built in the proper Aspect Ratio, we can display HD content and it will look great, even when building smaller screens. However, with our 5mm panels, for example, the screen would be over 21 feet wide and 13 feet tall before it contained enough pixels to be called “HD”. HD commonly comes in 2 different formats, the 720 and 1080 format. More recently 4k content is all the rage, but 720 and 1080 content still is the most widely available and commonly used. Here is the pixel configuration for a common HD picture:
For true 720 High Definition, the screen will be at least 1280 pixels wide by 720 pixels tall, with a total pixel count of 921,600.
For true 1080 High Definition, the screen will be at least 1920 pixels wide by 1080 pixels tall, with a total pixel count of 2,073,600.
So if you know the pixel count of your screen, using these metric’s you can know if your screen qualifies to fully display, pixel for pixel, an HD image without any upscaling.
To learn more, just give us a call and we’ll discuss this further with you.

A promising outlook for vision
09 August 2011
John Haddon, technical consultant for UK Industrial Vision Association, is excited about the future potential for vision technology – fuelled by the need for automated technology to make efficiency savings while ensuring better quality control and product consistency.
John Haddon, technical consultant for UK Industrial Vision Association
The European vision market was forecast to grow 5% in 2010 but the European Machine Vision Association (EMVA) has recently announced that growth was nearer 35%. In addition, the European Machine Vision Industry Report 2011, published by the EMVA, predicts further growth of 20% in 2011. This has been fuelled by the accessibility of vision and imaging technologies, easy to use of software and the flexibility of interfaces and camera technology.
A major contributor to this trend is the increasing demand placed on industry to be more cost efficient and to reduce defects, improve quality control and to eliminate human error through the use of automation.
Automation is having a significant influence on the industrial vision market as the manufacturing sector strives to ensure competitiveness in response to the threats posed by lower labour costs in other parts of the world. Industry has also been able to benefit from technology advances, developed for the demanding security and defence sectors, which have been driving improved performance and reducing system prices. Vision is also expanding outside its natural home of industrial production and is moving into areas such as agriculture, security, surveillance, logistics, life science, medical technology, retail, sports and many other walks of life. It would seem that this trend is no ‘flash in the pan’. Another report, ‘Global Machine Vision and Vision Guided Robotics Market (2010-2015)’ published recently by US based Marketsandmarkets predicts significant growth for the machine vision and related components market throughout the world during this period.
A cash injection
In the industrial sector, a cash injection of £600,000 has been announced by the UK Coalition Government to help stimulate the adoption of automation in UK manufacturing. A two-year programme will allow experts to go into UK manufacturing companies and work with them to identify their automation needs and help specify the most appropriate solution. This offers a big opportunity for the UK Vision industry to demonstrate the contribution that vision can make to this vital area.
From a control engineering perspective, vision systems can help automate manufacturing processes, both in conjunction with robotic systems (pick-and-place and robot guidance) and independently by providing sophisticated automated inspection capabilities, at high speed, if required. Smart cameras (where image processing is carried out within the camera itself), multipoint camera systems (where image processing is carried out in a dedicated industrial controller) and the traditional PC-based single and multi-camera inspection systems offer powerful and versatile inspection capabilities.
A key factor is not just the ability to incorporate vision into new processes or OEM equipment, such as processing and packaging machinery, but also to seamlessly integrate it into existing processes and manufacturing environments. With GigE Vision now an established industrial vision standard, and other Ethernet products available for I/O, triggering and lighting control, a ‘network centric’ approach to running a production line vision system provides a high level of automation and versatile processing and control possibilities.
Integrating vision measurements into statistical process control (SPC) methods offers even greater potential productivity benefits by controlling the manufacturing process within its allowed tolerances. In many applications, 100% inspection can be carried out, and each and every product or component can be measured. By feeding this data into the SPC system, trends be identified at an early stage and random and sudden defects can also be identified. If the process cannot be brought under control and the tolerances can not be relaxed (for example in the automotive industry), then the vision system can still be used at the end of the production line in its ‘inspection’ role to weed out defective items and ensure only in-tolerance product is delivered to the customer.
With new data transmission standards such as GigE Vision 2.0, CameraLink HS and CoaXPress emerging to offer faster data transmission over longer distances using simplified components, together with continued advances in camera technology, image processing capabilities and the improving affordability of 3D imaging and measurements, the technology of industrial vision continues to develop at a fast pace. Improving capabilities, downward trends in pricing and a strong market demand make the vision industry an exciting and rewarding place to be right now.

The images are so large that it would take 378 4K ultra-high-definition TV screens to display one of them in full size. These and other properties will soon drive unprecedented astrophysical research.
Next, the sensor array will be integrated into the world’s largest digital camera, currently under construction at SLAC. Once installed at Rubin Observatory in Chile, the camera will produce panoramic images of the complete Southern sky – one panorama every few nights for 10 years.

Its data will feed into the Rubin Observatory Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) – a catalog of more galaxies than there are living people on Earth and of the motions of countless astrophysical objects. Using the LSST Camera, the observatory will create the largest astronomical movie of all time and shed light on some of the biggest mysteries of the universe, including dark matter and dark energy.
The first images taken with the sensors were a test for the camera’s focal plane, whose assembly was completed at SLAC in January.

Atn 3×6 Thermal Scope
The Thermal Scopes are equipped with advanced technology that will help you hit your target. They consider factors such as wind speed, multiple-weapon profiles and angle to the target. These calculators can perform calculations in seconds. They also help you calculate distances and velocities in different scenarios. Atn 3×6 Thermal Scope.
How to Choose a Thermal Scope
You need to review the specifications and features of each thermal scope to ensure you get the best one for you. These include resolution, magnification, and battery life. You should also consider the environment where you will use the scope. For example, if it is extremely cold, the image quality will be lowered. This is why you should choose a thermal scope that can withstand these conditions. Atn 3×6 Thermal Scope.
Many thermal scopes can be a useful tool because of their many features. Some thermal scopes can be removed from the rifle. This feature makes them useful for hunting and patrolling. Some models have a range of up to 300 yards, which is great for keeping the property safe from hogs and varmints.
Thermal scopes are not inexpensive. Make sure you know how much you are willing to spend before buying one. There are many types of thermal scopes. It is important to know what features you need.
ATN Thermal Scope
The ATN Thermal Scope is a combination of durability and performance. It has a waterproof design that can withstand temperatures up to 120°F. It is compatible with both Picatinny and Weaver style rails.
Even for beginners, the ATN Thermal Scope can be used easily. The ATN Thermal Scope comes with a ballistics calculator that you can use to program different rifles and ammunition calibers. It will display information such as rifle type, bullet weight, initial velocity, zero range, and environmental information. It also has a programmable Mil Dot reticle, which uses the formula 1mm = 10cm at 100m to calculate bullet trajectory.
Its affordability is another benefit. ATN Thermal Scopes can be bought for as low as $300. This is a significant savings. The scope is smaller and lighter than regular scopes. You can use it for longer periods of time without feeling fatigued.
Pulsar Thermal Scope
Pulsar Thermal Scope is a great choice for anyone looking to view thermal information in the most reliable and accurate way. Its AMOLED display boasts a resolution of 1024 x 768 pixels, and it offers an 8x digital zoom with stepped zoom functionality. The thermal imaging scope uses a Li-Ion rechargeable battery. It is waterproof.
The Thermion XG50 Pulsar Thermal Scope is the most recent and best. This new model has been awarded the Optic of the Year Award by American Rifleman and the Golden Bullseye Award. This scope features state-of the-art technology and unsurpassed target clarity. It also has a thermal detection range up to 2,400 feet. Atn 3×6 Thermal Scope.
The Edge detection feature reduces night blindness by displaying only the edges around the target. This feature allows you to see your target for longer periods without getting tired. The Thermion thermal scope also has a high-quality internal video recording system. These videos can be transferred directly to your computer for further viewing.
The Pulsar Thermion, if you are new to thermal optics is the right tool for you. Its objective lens is adjustable and has a simple-to-use interface. It also comes with a Quick Start Guide, which will guide you through the basic functions of the thermal scope.
Trijicon Thermal Scope

They offer customer service and product experts to help you find the perfect thermal scope. Spend $49 to get free shipping Here are some of the best features of the Trijicon Thermal Scope: Atn 3×6 Thermal Scope.
First, you need to check the refresh rate of a thermal scope. For crisp, clear images, this measure measures the number of image updates per seconds. To achieve peak performance, select a scope that has a 60 hertz refresh speed if you can. A lower refresh rate will help save battery life.
A thermal scope is an excellent tool for hog hunting. The scope’s large field of vision allows you to see targets up to 400 feet away. It is also very easy to use. It can be used to hunt coyotes which have been known to decimate agricultural fields. This means that you can take out dozens of these pests with ease.
OpticsPlanet Thermal Scope
Thermal Scopes are a great way to keep track of the environment. These instruments can be detached from your rifle and are perfect for hunting and patrolling. They have a range of approximately 300 yards and are ideal for property protection. They can be used to protect your livestock and ranch from varmints or hogs.
Thermal scopes are excellent for self-defense as well. They make a great hunting tool and can be used to spot nocturnal game animals in low-light conditions. You can use a thermal scope, for example, to find hogs hidden in fog and brush. You can also use one for self-defense if you suspect an intruder has broken into your home.
One important thing to consider when choosing a thermal scope is the refresh rate. A higher refresh rate means that the image is refreshed more often. This means you can get a more precise image. This is especially important when your target moves. While most thermal scopes can refresh at 60 Hz, some have higher refresh rates. Atn 3×6 Thermal Scope.
Depending on your needs, thermal scopes can cost thousands of dollars. A high-quality thermal scope should cost at least $2,000 if you’re considering buying one. There are few thermal scopes under $1,000, so spending the extra money is worth it.
Night Vision vs Thermal Scope
Both thermal imaging and nightvision are high-tech devices with rapidly improving capabilities. However, there are differences. To maximize your viewing capabilities and avoid dangerous situations, it is crucial to select the best scope for you. Whether you’re hunting or protecting your property, it’s important to choose the right device for your needs.
The thermal core is one of the most critical components in thermal imaging. The thermal core is responsible for detecting heat from objects and producing a better-quality image. The sensitivity of the thermal core is measured in millikelvins, and most modern thermal scopes have a sensitivity of 50 millikelvins or more.
Night vision devices and thermal imaging use different methods to produce images. Thermal imaging uses infrared light instead of visible light. Infrared light can create a more clear image than night vision in complete darkness. Thermal imaging scopes can also be used in bright light conditions, but the risk is the device’s image intensifier tubes may be damaged. Atn 3×6 Thermal Scope.
Thermal imaging is also affected by the refresh rates. Low refresh rates create lag in the image. This can add up to a significant amount of time while hunting. Fortunately, thermal imaging scopes can function during the day as well. Although thermal vision optics in the real world aren’t as effective as night vision, they can still detect animals and people from hundreds of yards away.
If you’re looking for the best thermal scope, then there are several models to choose from. Some are built to be used in the military while others are designed for home use. It is important to select one that can withstand extreme temperatures and water. Thermal scopes can also be useful for property protection. Thermal imaging can be useful if you live on a ranch to protect your property from varmints or hogs.
Thermal scopes have a number of advantages over other night vision devices. Because they do not require light to function, they can work in darker settings than night vision devices. They also have the advantage of displaying an orange color when they detect heat. Night vision devices, by contrast, typically output a green-tinted image.
One of the most important features to look for in a thermal scope is its resolution. A thermal scope that is accurate should be capable of detecting targets at over 1,000 yards. This is an important feature for hunters who hunt in close quarters. This will give them an excellent field of view and allow them to identify their target. If you are only looking to hunt with your thermal scope, it is worth considering one that has a smaller detection range. For example, one that can detect small animals. Atn 3×6 Thermal Scope.


While living in solar powered homes is very sustainable and environmentally friendly, the materials from which most solar PV arrays are constructed are not. Since they are often made from rare natural materials or plastics, researchers are constantly looking for way to improve this flaw and make the whole package more eco-friendly. A team of scientists from the University of Maryland, the South China University of Technology, and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln have recently developed a type of paper, which is made from wood fibers. This paper is 96 percent transparent and could conceivably one day be used instead of the plastic materials used to construct the solar cells of today. This would make solar cells more eco-friendly as well as much cheaper.
According to the researchers, solar cells perform best when the materials they are made of have a high optical transparency, which offers good light transmission, and a high optical haze. The latter allows for increased scattering, which aids the absorption of the transmitted light within the material. Until now all the materials with high transparency values of 90% or more, have very low optical haze values, namely of 20% or less. However, the wood-based paper the researchers have developed has both a very high transparency (96%) and very high optical haze, namely 60%, which is also the highest optical haze value among other transparent substrates.
What makes this high optical haze possible is the fact that the new paper is nanoporous, as opposed to microporous like conventional paper. Because of this there are fewer cavities in the material that could potentially scatter light. The researchers created this paper by using a process called TEMPO to treat the wood fibers. This process weakens the hydrogen bonds between the microfibers of the wood fibers, and caused them to swell up and collapse into a dense, tightly packed structure containing nanopores rather than micropores.
The researchers tested the new paper for solar cell use by coating it onto a silicon slab. These experiments revealed that solar cells coated with the new type of paper are capable of collecting light with a 10 percent increase in efficiency. The technique of coating, or laminating existing solar cells with the paper is very easy to achieve and could be used on existing solar cells, which would raise their efficiency.


Tunable multimode-interference bandpass fiber filter
Abbreviated Journal Title
RING LASER; OPERATION; Optics
We report on a wavelength-tunable filter based on multimode interference (MMI) effects. A typical MMI filter consists of a multimode fiber (MMF) spliced between two single-mode fibers (SMF). The peak wavelength response of the filter exhibits a linear dependence when the length of the MMF is modified. Therefore a capillary tube filled with refractive-index-matching liquid is used to effectively increase the length of the MMF, and thus wavelength tuning is achieved. Using this filter a ring-based tunable erbium-doped fiber laser is demonstrated with a tunability of 30 nm, covering the full C-band. (C) 2010 Optical Society of America

Glossary | Telescopes | GoTo control | Alignment method | StarSense Explorer
StarSense Explorer is a free app for Android and iOS operating systems. It uses the camera and other technology incorporated within the smartphone to align the telescope with the night sky. For this purpose, the telescope requires a special holder with a mirror system, as seen in the picture.
Once initialized, the app displays the direction in which the telescope is pointing. Using arrows, it directs you to the most beautiful objects (PushTo). In this way, beginners can find their way around, even under a light-polluted city sky.
The StarSense Explorer app also generates a list of currently visible objects to help you select your cosmic destinations: planets, brighter nebulae and galaxies, star clusters and double stars.
While observing, the smartphone does not need network access. It also does not have to be connected to the telescope via a WLAN or Bluetooth.


Fujifilm KLASSE W with a Sophisticated, Refined, and Relaxed Design
So many 35mm autofocus compact cameras have been released since 1980, but the KLASSE W is said to be the most matured camera as well as the last model.
With providing a touch of softness in the accurate, the SUPER EBC Fujinon 28mm f/2.8 lens has both a modern lens configuration and a coating technique.
Compared to the so-called luxury compact cameras, you can use the KLASSE W in a casual way while featuring with such a high-performance lens.
At a major turning point from a film camera to a digital camera, the KLASSE W developed by using a variety of essential technologies of other 35 mm compact cameras.
What part of the camera is attractive to photographers?
Let’s check it out!
About the Fujifilm KLASSE W
The Fujifilm KLASSE W is the latest 35mm compact camera. In another words, it has positioned as the fully newly-developed camera.
Performance and Specification of the KLASSE W
According to the catalog, the Fujifilm KLASSE W seems to have a standard performance and a specification. But, the camera actually overcame its traditional implementation restrictions and successfully added functions, including the most frequent request from photographers.
The SUPER EBC Fujinon 28mm f/2.8 lens contains six elements in five groups. Equipped with the automatic winding/rewinding function, the KLASSE W is available both in autofocus (including AF lock) and manual focus mode.
Further, the KLASSE W enables to select a program AE mode or an aperture-priority AE mode. It also provides the exposure compensation up to the two steps, with each half step up. Its shutter maximum speed is up to 1/500th of a second when remaining the aperture open, while it is 1/1000th of a second when stopping down the aperture.
As you can see those features above, the KLASSE W is “a wolf in sheep’s clothing”, even though it looks just a standard compact camera at first glance.
In no way inferior to the luxury compact cameras with titanium coating, the KLASSE W has all necessary functions including a touch of lightness.
About the SUPER EBC Fujinon 28mm f/2.8 Lens
Fujifilm has traditionally used EBC (Electron Beam Coating) on lenses.
The SUPER EBC Fujinon 28mm f/2.8 lens, designed for the KLASSE W, is covered with a perfect coating as a compact camera.
The most remarkable feature of EBC is to suppress diffuse reflection of the light and to make image noise less noticeable. Even under the bad light condition like an image or a gradation pattern are not clear, the KLASSE W can attain an excellent performance of a lens. Moreover, the lens enables to resolve images accurately.
By means of this technique, the KLASSE W can deliver images with its feel and texture, even if the image is captured in the presence of backlight, sunset, or direct sunlight in summer.
Free Photographic Representation with an Aperture-Priority Automatic Mode
The KLASSE W can work well for photographic representation as hobbies or arts. One of the reasons for that is because an aperture-priority automatic mode is suitable for shooting street snaps and candid photos. Then, the most modern Fujinon lens will also help you to capture the world representing your own mental pictures.
The combination of a program AE mode and an aperture priority mode reminds me of the masterpiece “RICOH GR1”. The KLASSE W, with the light small body, can achieve the functions in the same level of luxury compact cameras or professional models.
High Efficiency to Grasp the Overall Image within Minutes
The KLASSE W achieves a great operation that everyone can smoothly use at a glance.
Basically, the camera is controlled by dial operations. For example, the exposure compensation control dial is located on the shoulder of a camera body, and it is possible to switch from a program mode to aperture-priority mode immediately.
The exposure compensation dial is placed in front, next to the lens. This also uses the dial type in order to check the correction value quickly, so the camera can easily adjust exposure depending on light conditions.
It is recommended that you use the autofocus function to deal with exposure at will. Furthermore, you can gather lights overflows in the world and print them into a film by using a small dark box that is called a compact camera.
Fujifilm KLASSE W – “A Wolf Dressed in a Sheep’s Skin”
As I mentioned above, the Fujifilm KLASSE W is just like a high-end, high specification compact camera if I describe it in a word.
While the KLASSE W has the same visual appearance of compact cameras, you can capture a scene as intended, along with an impression of its feel and its overwhelming volume.
Would you like to capture the scene around you with the free-spirit KLASSE W?


Thats not quite the case, Gentoo.
VR is a game of correction for angular motion. I think we can all agree on that.
Sensor-based VR ONLY needs to know the focal length of the lens, and with that and an accelerometer it can calculate needed sensor motion. to compensate. Since all modern lenses communicate that information already nothing more is needed to "tweak" the system on a lens-by-lens basis.
The beauty of PatMann's theory, and why I like it so much, is that it points to where sensor-motion based VR systems would break down - and that is in a limited range of motion available to the sensor due to physical constraints within the body. (Longer focal length = mucho more sensor motion needed per arc-minute of motion.)
When doing a mechanical VR system the implementation is beyond my math, but it is apparent that the implementation would need to vary depending on which elements move during zoom and/or focus.
EDIT: If my talk of this being an angular issue at heart is confusing I can try to draw up some diagrams of the situation and resulting math tonight. It would be helpful to know if you grok trig or not, though.
EDIT 2: Though if you dig trig I think you can see where I am going with this, as the focal length increases the velocity of the image motion on the sensor increases (another possible point-of-failure in sensor-based VR) and therefore the range of motion needed (velocity times exposure time) grows in correlation to focal length. (Which is why wider lenses can normally be hand-held at slower speeds as the same angular movement @ 85mm and at 35mm have vastly different distance blurs on the sensor all other things being equal. Since it is that distance of movement across the sensor/film over the exposure time that we perceive as blur shorter focal length lens=less prone to blur.)

LED tape light, also commonly referred to as flexible LED strip light, is designed for use as under cabinet lighting or accent lighting around residential and commercial spaces.
The brightness of LED tape light is determined using metric lumens. Unlike incandescent bulbs, different types of LED tape light can have different levels of efficiency, so the wattage rating does not always determine the actual light output.
LED tape light brightness is typically described in lumens per foot (or meter). For example, a quality LED tape light should provide at least 450 lumens per foot (1500 lumens per meter), which will provide the same amount of light output per foot as a traditional T8 fluorescent lamp (E.g. 4-foot T8 fluorescent = 4-foot of LED tape light = 1800 lumens).
LED tape light brightness is typically determined by three factors:
- Light output and efficiency per LED emitter
- The number of LEDs per foot
- The power draw of the LED tape light per foot
LED tape light is available in various shades of whites or colors. Typically, white light is the most used and popular option for indoor lighting applications.
There are different shades and qualities of white. Color temperature (CCT) and color rendering index (CRI) are two metric help determine how white the light output will be.
Color temperature is a measure of how warm or cool the light's color will appear. If your looking for a soft glow that resembles that of an incandescent bulb, a low color temperature (2700K) is the best choice. However, if your need a more crisp, bright white that resembles natural daylight, a high color temperature (6500K) is recommended.
Color rendering is a measure of how accurate colors will appear under the light source. Under a low CRI LED tape light, colors will appear distorted, washed out, or indistinguishable. Whereas, high CRI LED tape lights allows objects to appear the way they would under an ideal light source such as a halogen lamp, or natural daylight.
If you're looking for something that pops, or has a saturated color effect, colored LED tape light is ideal. Its great for accent and theatrical lighting effects. There are several colors across the visible spectrum available, such as blue, green, amber and red.
There are two types of color LED tape light, fixed single color and color changing. A fixed color LED tape light emits just one color, and operates just like the white LED tape light previously discussed. A color-changing LED tape light consists of multiple color channels on a single LED strip. The most basic type will include red, green and blue channels (RGB), which will allow you to dynamically mix the various color components to achieve virtually any color your space requires.
Each LED tape light segment is required to be connected to a DC power supply, or another LED tape light segment that is connected to a DC power supply (daisy chain). The connection method depends on the type of wires or plugs provided with the LED tape light, as well as whether or not the DC power supply includes a plug.
LED tape light can be installed in multiple ways. If you're looking for more of a polished look than using the double-adhesive backing, we recommend using aluminum channels and diffuser covers. Mounting the LED tape light inside of an aluminum channel, along with a diffuser cover, can drastically improve the aesthetics of a lighting installation.
Aluminum channels are long pieces of extruded aluminum in a U or V shape. The LED tape light is neatly placed and secured (using the double sided adhesive) at the bottom of the channel. Then a long frosted polycarbonate plastic lens then snaps onto the top of the aluminum channel. Besides being aesthetically pleasing, aluminum channels also help to dissipate the heat away from the LED tape light as well.
All LED tape light is dimmable when paired with the correct hardware. There are two methods of dimming LED tape light, a traditional phase-cut wall dimmer, or a DC low-voltage dimmer. The AC phase-cut dimmer is the most ideal choice for residential and commercial lighting applications, which is where the dimming input signal comes from a traditional wall-switch dimmer.
The DC low-voltage dimmer, or (RGB) controller, is typically a manual or digital dimmer module that is placed between the DC power supply and the LED tape light. This method is most suitable for color changing applications, or less permanent lighting installation.


What is special-shaped LED display?
LED special-shaped display screen is a special shaped LED display screen based on the LED display screen, which makes the new product better adapt to the overall structure and environment of the building. Its size and size can be customized according to the requirements, and the requirements for its appearance are further improved, so that it can better adapt to the overall structure and use requirements of the environment. Do you know the advantages of small pitch LED display?
What are the characteristics of special-shaped LED display?
From the perspective of advertising display, advertising is to maximize the exposure. The LED special-shaped display screen will have its own eye catching aura because of its unique shape, so it will also bring twice the result with half the effort in advertising display to make the publicity more effective.
Moreover, due to the popularity of outdoor conventional LED display screens to a certain extent, when the display screen is not lit, a black display screen is hung on the wall, which inevitably brings problems to the building and affects the overall appearance of the building; However, if it is a LED special-shaped display screen, we will make relevant planning according to the building body in the early stage of installation, and design a LED display screen that conforms to the wall appearance. Even if it is not lit, the LED special-shaped display screen has a different appearance, more like the sculpture on the wall, which not only does not affect the building appearance, but also adds artistic beauty.
Precautions for installation of special-shaped LED display
The selection of special-shaped LED display screen shall be determined in combination with the use scenario
As we all know, special-shaped LED displays can be used indoors or outdoors. Different application scenarios require different materials for special-shaped LED displays. It is recommended that the material and structure of the special-shaped LED display should be consistent with the use scenario.
Prevention of light pollution
Now people are more and more protective to the environment, and light pollution is also an important topic of environmental protection. Therefore, in the installation and debugging of special-shaped LED displays, how to protect and control light pollution should be considered.
The special-shaped LED display is a consumable, which needs continuous maintenance to ensure its continuous normal use. Therefore, when designing and installing the special-shaped LED display screen, it is necessary to leave a way for future maintenance, so as to prevent problems before they occur.
This is a special-shaped LED display project from the Egyptian exhibition hall! Do you think it looks like a pyramid!
Where can special-shaped LED display screen be used?
The special-shaped LED display screen is mainly used to show creative content, and the available scenes are also relatively wide, among which the common places are as follows.
The ingenious combination of the special-shaped LED display screen and the scene can bring the audience a different and novel audio-visual experience.
We also know that the special-shaped LED display screen has many different shapes, which is installed in each square and is also a beautiful landscape.
Municipal Planning Department
In fact, the special-shaped LED display is also used to convey information and display images. It is often seen in the municipal planning hall.
The development of special-shaped LED display
The appearance of the special-shaped LED display screen indicates that the traditional display screen has completed the task of transforming to enrichment. The enrichment here is not only the diversification of appearance, but also the enrichment of structure and function. Sostron can customize various types of LED digital display, such as spherical screen, circular screen, etc. The display is no longer limited to rectangular appearance; In terms of function, the special-shaped LED display can show clearer pictures, transmit more pictures and video information, and achieve 360 ° viewing experience.

Wavelength-Tunable Lasers: Does the Tuner Degrade the Power Efficiency?
Posted on 2008-10-03 as part of the Photonics Spotlight (available as e-mail newsletter!)
Permanent link: https://www.rp-photonics.com/spotlight_2008_10_03.html
Author: Dr. Rüdiger Paschotta, RP Photonics AG, RP Photonics AG
Abstract: Depending on the situation, a tunable bandpass filter in a laser resonator, used for wavelength tuning, may or may not cause a substantial reduction of output power. The article discusses this in some detail.
Ref.: encyclopedia articles on tunable lasers, wavelength tuning, optical filters
In a wavelength-tunable laser, some kind of adjustable optical bandpass filter such as a birefringent tuner is often used for adjusting the emission wavelength. As such a tuner introduces wavelength-dependent power losses, one may wonder to what extent it reduces the power efficiency of the laser, and on which factors this power reduction depends.
A tunable continuous-wave laser usually operates with a relatively narrow emission bandwidth. The question is then to what extent the filter introduces losses in that narrow wavelength region. In principle, it could have virtually zero losses in some wavelength interval and strong losses outside that interval. One might then expect that the power efficiency of the laser is not affected at all, simply because there is no loss for the circulating light, having the right wavelength to be well transmitted.
Of course, the power may be reduced when forcing the laser to operate at some wavelength with low gain. Even when not enforcing oscillation at an “inconvenient” wavelength, the power efficiency may be reduced if the laser doesn't “like” to emit with a narrow bandwidth. For example, spatial hole burning in the laser crystal may reduce the power efficiency when single-frequency operation is enforced. Other kinds of inhomogeneous saturation may also play a role, even without single-frequency operation.
Another problem arises when the filter has no steep edge in its transmission spectrum. For example, consider the use of an etalon as a tuner. The etalon shouldn't be too thick in order to select one particular transmission window, but that window is then relatively broad. A similar situation occurs when a prism pair is used to spatially disperse different wavelengths in some region of the laser resonator, and a knife edge is inserted in that region. The oscillation wavelength of the laser will then be a kind of compromise between minimum filter loss and maximum gain. Therefore, it does introduce significant loss for the oscillating wavelength, even though there would be some other wavelength nearby with even smaller losses. It can then be helpful to use a filter with a steeper spectral transmission function. It is even possible that the insertion of such a narrowband filter in addition to the original tuner increases the output power by forcing the laser to operate where the loss is lower. Of course, one would then remove the first tuner, as it is not more required – except if the steeper filter is a thicker etalon, and the thinner one is required to select the right transmission window.

This paper focuses on the simulation of propagation of radiation in UV and visible wavelength regions within a superficial skin layer (stratum corneum, SC) partially filled with titanium dioxide (TiO2) nanoparticles. Volume concentrations of the particles (0.67% - 2.25%) correspond to the maximal concentrations of the considered particles in the frames of independent scattering. Transmittance of 307-, 400-, and 500-nm light through a 20-μm thick SC is calculated. The effect of the TiO2 nanoparticles on the contribution of photons undergone different numbers of scattering acts into transmittance is considered. It is shown that administration of the nanoparticles results in the broadening of the distribution of transmitted photons over undergone scattering acts. It also results in the shift of the maximum location of this distribution to larger number of scattering acts for the wavelengths of 400 and 500 nm being the latter the most pronounced. The increase of undergone scattering acts leads to the elongation of photon trajectories within the medium and results in the increase of the diffuse reflected light and the transmittance decrease.

Are you a camping or military fan? Having you ever think of buying professional camping and hiking needs, for example the binocular?
In recent years, the military binocular has become the hottest seller between those outdoor sports and camping fans. The high precision and long distance capability are disadvantages than those ordinary binoculars. However, with the appearance of the night vision binocular, a new fervor of purchasing has been blown up. Don’t you think it’s cool and practical?
Night vision binocular is also called as UV night vision instrument. At night, the visible lights are filmy, while the invisible ultraviolet rays are abundant, which could help in observing, searching and driving for humans with UV instrument. Though people discovered the ultraviolet long ago, the UV remote sensing technique was developing slowly due to the restriction of IR components. It is not until 1940 after the innovation of lead sulfide and several UV transmission materials that the UV remote sensing instrument was born.
The night vision binocular was first utilized in military activities by the using of photoelectric conversion technology. So far, the night vision binocular can be classified as active mode night vision binocular and passive mode night vision binocular, for the former one illuminates the target by UV searchlight, while the latter one forms a ‘thermal image’ of the target according to the UV radiation of the target itself, which is also called as ‘thermal image instrument.
It is reported that the night vision binocular can help in seeing through human’s body with an attachment lens, and these attachment lens are produced by YAMADA DENSHI, the company who is producing light-transmission cameras for military and defense.
Already have a binocular? See how to use it in a more probable way.
How to use your binoculars:
A. IDP Adjustment:
Set the interpupillary distance by grasping the body and bending it until you can see one circle of view. The setting for your eyes will be indicated on the IPD Scale. (Note the scale setting for later use.)
1. Close your right eye and sight an object with your left eye. Focus the binoculars by rotating the center focus wheel until the image is sharp and clear.
2. Open your right eye and close your left eye, rotate the right eyepiece until the object sighted is sharp and clear (Note the setting of the diopter scale for later use.)
3. Both sides (eye) are now in focus and you will need to use only the center focus wheel to focus on the other objects.
If your binoculars is an InFocus model, it has no focusing mechanism. Your binocular is permanently id focus at all distances from a minimum focus point to infinity, just lift the binocular to your eyes and enjoy the view.
Rubber Fold-down Eyecups
The compact binoculars feature rubber fold-down eyecups. These convenient eyecups fold down for use with eyeglasses and fold up for use without eyeglasses. They provide comfort and promote viewing ease.
How to Care for Your Binoculars:
A. When wiping the lenses, use the lens cloth that comes with the binocular, or a soft, listless cloth.
B. To remove any remaining dirt or smudges, add one or two drops of isopropyl alcohol to the cloth.
C. Store your binocular in a moisture-free area.
Never attempt to clean your binoculars internally or try to take it apart.
Viewing the sun can cause permanent eye damage. Do not view the sun with these binoculars or even with the naked eye!
Are you interested in these camping and hiking needs? Today, Brilliantstore, the online electronics store that selling sports and outdoor products, is recommending you a new type of binocular – the Sakula Folding Day and Night Vision Binoculars on the Outdoor Sport Equipments panel. These new type of binocular can definitely fit your demand!! Now, please have a look at its showing pictures and enjoy the visible night!!

Heerbrugg, Switzerland. Leica Microsystems launches the digital microscope Leica DVM6, which is designed for inspection, analysis, and measurement in quality control, quality assurance, failure analysis, research and development, and forensics. Integrated illumination options and PlanApo-corrected optics ensure high quality images. The design of the Leica DVM6 enables users to work with the instrument intuitively, for example, tilting the microscope head or changing the objectives with one hand. Because of the instrument’s encoding, results are reproducible, and reports and documentations can be generated with the click of one button.
Georg Schlaffer, Product Manager with Leica Microsystems says: “Everybody can be a microscopist with the Leica DVM6. Users can easily navigate their samples because of the 16:1 zoom range, tilt the microscope head with one hand, and even change objectives while the sample stays in focus. Managing high sample throughput and routine documentation and reporting becomes easy due to the encoded parameters that are saved with the images.”
In addition to the zoom range of 16:1, users have a choice of three objectives covering a magnification range between 10x and 2,350x, resolving details down to a size of 0.4 micrometers. The objectives are PlanApo-corrected and will not show color fringes over the entire zoom range. Users can change objectives with one hand and work without interruption, since the objectives keep the sample in focus. With the tiltable microscope head, users can observe samples at any angle from -60 to +60 degrees. Combined with different illumination options for various contrast methods, users can see details of the sample that might not have been revealed without tilting.
The Leica DVM6 tracks specific parameter values and saves them with the image data. For the Leica DVM6, these encoded parameters include the objective, camera, and illumination settings, sample stage position, and rotation angle of both manual and motorized movement. They can be recalled or restored any time. Encoding facilitates reproducibility and makes workflows more efficient. Users can generate documentation and reports at the touch of a button.

This is a laser variant of the normal biathlon target with flaps for shooting at 50 meters.
When the hit zone is hit by a laser rifle, this zone is covered by a white flap.
The hit zones are 115 mm in size and the target can also be switched for prone shooting, where a reduction plate is automatically moved in front of the zones to reduce the hit zone to 45 mm.
Suitable for summer biathlon training shooting at actual 50 meters.
When using a special laser rifle, this target functions as a Hit/Miss. It also has a sound module output that simulates the sounds of shooting. (Regular speakers with a 3.5mm jack plug into this output)
The target will reset itself after all 5 shots are hit, or after 50 seconds from the first hit if all 5 shots have not been hit within that time. The target can also be equipped with a remote control to manually restart and move the reduction plate.

Lugging behind your DSLR camera and the several lenses that go with it can be hard not only on the body but also on your wallet. But in fixing its predecessor’s glaring flaw, the Nikon D610 is now a camera that earns our complete-hearted recommendation. Lots of people acquire high-priced cameras or get 1 for a gift and never finish up using them much. There are a quantity of typical technologies the newer digital cameras offer which can increase the top quality of your photos. Any of these cameras will be in a position to provide considerably far better top quality pictures than your typical smartphone or compact. Then upgrade your point-and-shoot camera to a DSLR camera Acquiring the knack of making use of a DSLR camera is not simple if you are new to making use of one particular, so it is always far better to go for a user-friendly DSLR camera.
With the launch of the Coolscan 9000 ED Nikon introduced its most up-to-date film scanner which, like the Minolta Dimage scanners were the only film scanners that, due to a unique version of Digital ICE , were able to scan Kodachrome film reliably both dust and scratch free of charge. There is also the tiny situation of regardless of whether you’d truly be far better served by a smaller mirrorless camera rather than a DSLR. The Nikon D90, released in 2008, was the extremely 1st SLR camera to record video and paved the way for the other Nikon DSLR cameras to come with video mode.
This will contain models with modes to guide you by way of learning about manual controls, up to cameras which will be much more than sufficient as your photography skills create. Cameras for social savvy snappers featuring easy web upload and cameras for perfect scenery shots boasting panoramic frames and super zoom. The auto-concentrate and exposure on this low-cost digital SLR camera under $1000 is quite unreal, and you can snap 4 frames per second at full resolution. Digital cameras have replaced Film cameras and Digital SLR Cameras have replaced Film SLR Cameras.
You probably could not find a horrific SLR camera from the top rated cameras even if you wanted to. Any of these cameras are sure to make you content. If your hunting for a lot of option, and the lowest obtainable rates, it would seem apparent to purchase digital cameras on the web. It is modest (for a DSLR) but nevertheless packs an 18 megapixel APS-C (22.three x 14.9 mm) CMOS sensor which is capable of turning out fantastic good quality pictures in each bright conditions and the reduce light scenarios your smartphone struggles with. If you’ve saved a bit acquiring a good, cheap DSLR camera under $1000, take into account investing some of the savings here. Many point and shoot cameras give automated controls to users that help adjust exposure, shutter speed, and/or white balance to capture much better shots in spite of adjustments in lighting and much more challenging situations.
Nikon cameras are delivering higher pixels, mine being 24.1MP which is much more than that in most Canon cameras. Our favorite digital cameras are from Sony and Nikon, nonetheless you’re presenting some really reasonably priced alternatives here. Cameras below $100 are not going to offer the same top quality and controls that cameras more than $300 offer you. For instance, you can take video clips using a DSLR camera, which is not possible in Film SLR camera.


October 2008 saw Japan's biggest electronics show: Ceatec. More than 196,000 visitors to Ceatec got a chance to see the best of the Japanese electronics industry, including some exciting prototypes of devices that are still a long way from hitting the market.
Casio Exilim EX-FH20
Casio's EX-FH20 is an update on the F1 that was launched earlier this year. It has a 9Mp resolution and 20x optical zoom. Like the F1, the new camera can take super slow-motion video and perform a host of neat tricks thanks to a burst shooting mode.
For example, the camera can be set to take up to 40 images at 7Mp resolution per second, which means you can get it to record a series of pictures either side of the shutter button being pressed. That means that if you miss a perfect picture moment, the camera will likely still capture it thanks to these extra pictures.
The fast shutter also allows video to be recorded at up to 1,000 frames per second and then achieve a super-slow motion effect when played back at the normal 30 frames per second. It will launch in the US and Europe in October and will cost around £350.
