Laser scanning techniques have revolutionised the field of geodesy by enabling the rapid collection of high-resolution three‐dimensional data. These methods utilise laser pulses to generate dense ...

First high-resolution laser survey of ancient site shows importance of solstices and efforts to make those events more dramatic. Photonics technology has revealed in unprecedented detail the efforts ...

A ground-breaking technique that allows green spaces to be mapped in 3D from an aircraft could boost biodiversity, aid human wellbeing and even help protect rainforests, say experts. A ground-breaking ...

Scanning probe microscopy (SPM) is a set of advanced methods for surface analysis. The recent advances in SPM of metals, polymers, insulating, and semiconductive materials are primarily due to the ...

Asset “virtualization” extends and combines the technologies of 3-D visualization and virtual reality to a new, practical level for the life-cycle management of power industry equipment. All pertinent ...

Matthew Shaw and William Trossell document the world with lasers. When the duo founded ScanLab Projects in 2011, they were a pair of freshly minted architecture school graduates who'd gotten their ...

Unlike the light microscopes that use visible light to illuminate the sample, LSCM instead utilizes a focused scanning laser to illuminate a subsurface of a three-dimensional (3D) specimen. The visual ...

From Finland to the Amazon, University of Helsinki researchers are using terrestrial laser scanning to create detailed 3D ...

Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM or LSCM) is a valuable tool for obtaining high resolution images and 3-D reconstructions. The key feature of confocal microscopy is its ability to produce blur ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) The ability to controllably structure surfaces at the micro- and nanoscale has remained a profoundly impactful yet challenging goal spanning industrial sectors. Precisely ...
