Custom Infrared and Thermal Imaging Lenses for OEM Applications
Universe Optics2025-04-16T15:56:07-04:00Thermal imaging systems allow users to visualize temperature differences that are otherwise invisible to the human eye. These systems are essential in critical applications ranging from emergency rescue and autonomous driving to energy audits and industrial inspection. […]
CCD Applications
Universe Optics2023-08-02T16:06:17-04:00Charge-coupled devices, or CCDs, are electronic devices that are commonly used in digital cameras and other imaging devices. The CCD lens is a key component in these devices, allowing for high-quality images and video to be captured. […]
Medical Robots
Universe Optics2020-04-28T18:12:24-04:00Robots have been, and still are, a staple of Sci-Fi movies and novels. However, the evolution of technology is quickly bringing them into the medical fields as well. According to one report by Credence Research, the global medical robotics market was valued at $7.24 billion in 2015 and is expected [...]
Medical Proton Imaging
Universe Optics2020-04-28T18:12:25-04:00The recent research on medical proton imaging is by and large motivated by the desire to gather information using a less invasive source such as X-rays. With the use of a proton microscope, it is possible to image biological tissue without leaving any radiating material behind in the tissues of [...]
Using Machine Vision For Other Optical Exams
Universe Optics2020-04-28T18:12:28-04:00The reason most people visit their optician or ophthalmologist is to have their eyesight tested. However, more than just a routine eye exam can be evaluated when the doctor examines the eyes. A simple ophthalmic exam can reveal signs of systemic diseases such as diabetes and hypertension, and in the [...]
Analyzing Cannabis With Near Infrared Spectroscopy
Universe Optics2025-05-01T12:52:30-04:00The legal cannabis industry in the United States is currently experiencing a boom in economic growth, even though it is still illegal at the federal level and in about one-third of the states. To date, the industry in the U.S. hasbecome a nearly $11 billion [...]
Deep Learning-based Analysis
Universe Optics2020-04-28T18:12:29-04:00Radiological x-rays, ultrasounds and NMR’s are all forms of medical imaging that have traditionally required the flexibility of the human eye to detect anomalies within the human body. Since a computer is confused by busy backgrounds and image quality issues, it is difficult for a traditional machine vision algorithm to [...]
Neuroimaging With Machine Learning
Universe Optics2020-04-28T18:12:33-04:00Studying the human mind is challenging. Currently, most human brain studies are limited to non-invasive approaches, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This limits the examination of the human brain at the cellular level, which may offer novel insights into the development and potential treatment of various neurological diseases. [...]
Transmission Electron Microscope
Universe Optics2020-04-28T18:12:35-04:00TEM, or Transmission electron microscopy (also sometimes conventional transmission electron microscopy or CTEM) is a microscopy technique in which a beam of electrons is transmitted through a specimen to form an image. The specimen is most often an ultrathin section less than 100 nm thick or a suspension on a grid. An image is formed from the interaction of [...]
