A number of factors can influence the accuracy of an intraoral scan, including the color of a scanner's light. The use of a blue-light scanning mode resulted in significantly more accurate scans in a ...

What are Blue Light 3D Scanners? Structured light 3D scanners, typically mounted on a camera stand, robot, or tripod, function as point-and-shoot cameras and need little or no programming with minimal ...

Microscopes are of three basic types: optical, electron (or ion), and scanning probe. The modern optical or light microscope was developed in the mid-19th century. Optical microscopes use transparent ...

A traditional optical microscope can be used to achieve a maximum magnification of about 800–1000x due to the nature of light. Scanning electron microscopes (SEMs) can be used for further ...

There has been an increase in the availability of affordable 3D scanners these last few years, largely down to the use of structured light technology in such scanners. Traditional 3D scanners use ...

Manipulating nanoscale light in scanning tunneling microscope junctions is attained by nanofabrication of gold tips using a focused ion beam technique. Researchers have demonstrated that a spectrum of ...

Scanning a film negative is as simple as holding it up against a light source and photographing the result. But should you try such a straightforward method with color negatives it’s possible your ...

The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has demonstrated solid-state optical phased array technology in a microchip, bringing the ability to bend light to the battlefront. Share on ...
