Conventional microscopes provide essential information about samples in two dimensions—the plane of the microscope slide. But flat is not all that. In many instances, information about the object in ...

A new statistical method has been developed and successfully tested for calibrating magnetic-flux-leakage and ultrasonic in-line inspection tools from field verifications. In contrast to the methods ...

A team of researchers has developed a simplified method to perform the necessary calibration of optical tweezers. Shortening the measurement time helps to reduce the risk of damage to biological ...

The aim of the calibration procedure is to establish the accuracy of the equipment being used. This helps to control for errors and uncertainties, ensuring that the data collected is reliable and ...

There are two methods for calibrating monitors: software calibration and hardware calibration. Software calibration is conducted using a general-purpose calibration kit and the monitor's standard ...

TCAD models are the fundamental building blocks for the semiconductor industry. Whether it is a new process node or a new multi-billion dollar fab, accurate TCAD models must be developed and ...

Surface metrology has become an essential part of any high-tech production line, where extremely precise optical instruments are used to ensure that surface characteristics are up to standard. These ...

Measurements of biomechanical properties inside living cells require minimally-invasive methods. Optical tweezers are particularly attractive as a tool. They use the momentum of light to trap and ...
