The solar reflectance and heat retention properties of materials are key factors that lead to increased temperatures in urban compared with rural environments. The metric developed to assess the performance of building materials is called the Solar Reflectance Index (SRI).
What are the advantages of the laser welding and its laser safety requirements?
Hexapods can be used for a variety of purposes, offering flexibility where stacked motion systems often cannot. There are many benefits to considering a parallel kinematic motion system, however these should be weighed up against the specific application requirements.
This technical note will describe the application in optical systems – and distinct advantages – of advanced, carbon fiber reinforced polymers (CFRP) used in optical mounts and breadboards.
How do you determine the appropriate lighting in horticulture, and how do you validate its effectiveness—whether you’re a plant grower or a lighting product manufacturer?
In the realm of lighting, flicker isn’t just a mere oscillation of light; it’s the unsung hero dictating our visual comfort. Learn what flicker is and how to measure it.
Applications of precision positioning equipment have gone hand-in-hand with microscopy since the dawn of its inception.
Most microscopic spectral imaging is implemented using a multispectral approach. However, imaging can be extended to hyperspectral imaging.
A new spectral imaging technology from Hinalea Imaging exploits a Fabry-Perot interferometer (FPI) to provide selectable high resolution hyperspectral images as well as near real-time multispectral images.
Pro-Lite’s Robert Yeo reviews the metrology of displays and explains the problem of ambient light and sunlight readability.
