Meet Ted McHenry, Principal Opto-Mechanical Engineer
Ted McHenry, Principal Opto-Mechanical Engineer, discusses Design for Manufacture (DFM) – one of the biggest challenges faced by medical device manufacturers
Applications for Adaptive Optics in Ophthalmology, Surgery, and Dermatology
Adaptive optics (AO) was first used by astronomers in the 1990s to correct for distortions in astronomical data due to fluctuations in the Earth’s atmosphere. Today, AO is critical in many applications in the machine vision, life sciences, and medical device fields.
Image Quality Testing for Medical Devices
As the optics and image sensors used in endoscope and dental cameras serve as the eye of the doctor using them, the image quality produced by these components are critical.
Meet Dan Gray, Founder of Gray Optics
In this interview, Dan Gray shares his experiences in entrepreneurship and product development in the optics industry.
How Optics Are Powering Coronavirus Detection and Diagnosis
Scientific and engineering teams are collaborating worldwide to develop the molecular testing tools essential for detecting the presence of the COVID-19 virus and the associated antibodies after the immune system has fought off the disease.
An Intraoral Camera Case Study
A dental intraoral camera is a multi-purpose imaging device first introduced in the 1990’s. Originally the technology was used for taking pictures of teeth and gums for documentation. Now the application space includes diagnosing dental conditions such as tooth decay, gum disease, 3D optical measurement systems for tooth repair and corrective braces, and for patient education.
