Multi-tasking takes a bit more effort as we get older, but the benefits are probably worth it, say US and Japanese scientists.

A new imaging method using NIR radiation has enabled the study of insulin-producing cells in diabetes in complete organs—much larger samples than previously possible in the visible spectrum.

The Fraunhofer Institute for Photonic Microsystems IPMS will be presenting an extremely miniaturised, scanning grating NIR spectrometer at Photonics West, the trade show for optics technology. The optical bench is smaller than a sugar cube and thus it might fit into mobile devices as well as in automated process analysis tools.

The TerraLuma Project (University of Tasmania, Australia) is partnering with Headwall Photonics to bring hyperspectral technology to its fleet of unmanned aircraft systems.
