• Asylum Research NanoIndenter integrates with AFM optical detector
  July 19, 2006, Santa Barbara, CA--Asylum Research has unveiled its NanoIndenter module for use with the company's MFP-3D atomic-force-microscope (AFM) system. The NanoIndenter is a tool for materials research that allows controlled physical contact and elastic and inelastic deformation of a nano-sized area of a specimen (a triangular nanoindent can be seen in the figure).
• Ambient light sensor offers "human eye" characteristics
  June 28,2006, San Jose, CA--OSRAM Opto Semiconductors' newest ambient light sensor, (ALS) SFH5711, designed for the mobile device market, accurately matches or imitates the sensitivity curve of the human eye.
• Omicron diode laser modulates deeply
  June 27, 2006, Rodgau, Germany--Omicron has introduced a diode laser that has what the company says is almost infinite modulation capability. The laser, called the Deepstar, does not show any residual fluorescence content in the "off" moments while being modulated, even at very high modulation rates. The temperature-stabilized diode laser can be modulated at greater than 100 MHz.
