Scanning forests with lasers can provide three-dimensional models of forests, creating a unique way to look at these ecosystems. Researchers at the University of Helsinki are pioneers in applying this ...

A NASA-funded spacecraft could use a powerful laser to scan the Moon, asteroids, and Phobos for valuable resources without ...

To demonstrate confocal imaging, the scientists used a bench-top mockup of the objective lens with an integrated 3-D MEMS mirror. Liu et al. attached the mirror onto the sample stage using a ...

Revopoint has been chipping away at the "3D scanning is only for people with a five-figure budget" problem for over a decade ...

Datasensing, Datalogic’s sensor, safety and machine vision business, has announced a safety laser scanner with a 10m range ...

Meeting these evolving demands, Micro-Epsilon introduces a completely new generation of high-precision tools: the scanCONTROL 8500 series laser scanners. These high-performance 3D sensor solutions are ...

Darwin Quiroz is exploring new frontiers in miniature lasers with major biomedical applications. When Quiroz first started working with optics as an undergraduate, he was developing atomic ...

Beneath the unbroken canopy of the southwestern Amazon, where satellite images show nothing but green, laser beams fired from ...

Before the tragedy seen all around the world, flames leaping from the top of Notre-Dame Cathedral, there was a smaller one, thousands of miles away in upstate New York. Andrew Tallon, a pioneering ...
