Applications : Compact CCD Microscope
Aids inspection and documentation of gemstones
Cambridge, UK -- Moritex (www.moritex.com) has announced that its compact MSX-500Di digital CCD microscope has enabled luxury jewellery specialists Wharton (St. Albans, UK) to inspect, measure and electronically document precious gemstones handled by the company.Traditionally the jewellery industry has relied upon optical eyepieces and standard desktop optical microscopes to inspect diamonds and emeralds for inclusions, carbon deposits and surface damage. However with growing market demand for authentication, particularly at the luxury end of the market, the need for a powerful, yet affordable digital microscope that can inspect, measure and electronically document gemstones has become apparent.
The MSX-500Di incorporates a high quality CCD imaging system and adjustable high-intensity LED lighting to deliver sharp well-lit images from 1x to 500 x magnification without changing lenses. One dial operation ensures changing of magnification and focusing is both quick and simple.

New Products : Wideband and High-Output SLD Module: AS5B125EM50M 1.55-μm SLD Module
At The FIBER OPTICS EXPO (FOE2008) being held in Tokyo Big Sight from 16 to 18 January
Tokyo, Japan -- Anritsu Corporation has announced that it has developed the AS5B125EM50M 1.55-μm SLD module to provide fiber output powers of 25 mW over a wide wavelength range of 60 nm for use in fiber sensors and optical measurement.The AS5B125EM50M is a 1.55-μm band, low-coherence light source for use in a wide variety of fiber sensor and optical measurement fields, such as building and bridge health monitoring, security management of important structures and more.
Since 1.55-μm light sources in these fields must support multipoint monitoring, they require wide bandwidths and high outputs. However, 1.55-μm band ASE light sources have a narrow wavelength band (30 to 40 nm), while conventional SLDs with a wide wavelength band have low outputs of just a few mW.

Applications : Damage prediction & evaluation by non-contact IR imaging…
CROISSY-BEAUBOURG, FRANCE -- Based upon a high performance focal plane array camera and digital image processing software the ALTAIR Li system from Cedip Infrared Systems provides top quality images of stress in materials and structures under dynamic, transient or random loading conditions. The ALTAIR Li uses an IR camera which provides thermal images of the area under investigation at fast frame rate. Using proprietary software these thermal images are converted into full field stress images, without any contact with the material surface.
The full field stress images are produced in real time by using the thermoelastic effect which states there is a linear relationship between the temperature changes induced by loading and the stress at the material surface.
When used to measure heat dissipation on a structure under dynamic loading (D-MODE) the ALTAIR Li system can be used to rapidly determine the materials fatigue limit and provide information on the damage mechanism involved.

Applications : 3D visualisation & measurement of high-speed objects in flight
Tring, UK -- Specialised Imaging Ltd. has announced the development of a novel technique that allows engineers, for the first time, to correlate high-speed video data with 3D visualisation and measurement.For high-speed imaging applications such as ballistic trajectory characterisation, space re-entry vehicle development and development of advanced munitions - engineers have traditionally used expensive Doppler radar equipment with sophisticated software, and on-board telemetry.
While this methodology has provided useful analytical data it has not allowed visualisation of the processes.
The ability to correlate both analytical and visual data over a significant part of an object's flight, using the new Specialised Imaging Ltd technique, offers engineers a valuable new high-speed imaging tool.
