Raptor SWIR Helping in the Pursuit of Happiness
Despite the central role that synapses play in the brain, it remains challenging to measure exactly where neurotransmitters are released and how far they travel from their release site. Currently, most tools available to scientists only allow bulk measurements of neurotransmitter release. Using a Raptor Ninox II Vis-SWIR camera has enabled researchers to study how dopamine is released from subcellular compartments that have previously not been well characterised.
Enabling Interferometric Imaging at SWIR Wavelengths
The Magdalena Ridge Observatory Interferometer (MROI) will analyse the fringe patterns obtained from multiple pairs of combined beams to reconstruct an image of the target under observation such as imaging geostationary satellites to enhance space situational awareness. The system uses an Owl 640-II camera for SWIR imaging.
App Note: In-Vivo Imaging in NIR-II / SWIR (600 – 1700nm)
Non-invasive fluorescence imaging of small animals has been a technique widely used for years as a method in preclinical research. Techniques have developed considerably in recent years, but still face a number of limitations. Researchers detecting in the 500-900 nm range suffer from shallow imaging depth and high background due to light scattering and tissue autofluorescence.
Watch Now: Seeing Life in Short Wave Infrared
In this webinar, Mark Donaghy, VP Sales & Marketing at Raptor gives a brief overview of Raptor Photonics and its SWIR heritage. He then spends some time looking at InGaAs / SWIR sensor and camera technology and then focus on a broad and growing range of applications that Raptor customers have benefited from using Raptor SWIR cameras.
