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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

Last year, California-based Occipital closed out a wildly successful Kickstarter for its Structure Sensor, an iPad-mountable structured light scanner that can perceive the world in three dimensions by ...

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 ...

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 ...
