The existing multi-step process of getting grapes from the vine to wine bottles, which involves manually counting grapes in the vineyard to estimate crop production before the harvest, can be time-consuming and sometimes inaccurate. A new imaging setup is poised to help.
A new spectroscopy-based approach—specifically involving stimulated Raman emission and stimulated Raman scattering—is now allowing researchers to sniff out gases and chemicals quicker and more accurately than is possible with conventional methods.
Imaging in unstable or extremely dark environments has been a near-impossible undertaking. But now, a quantum-inspired phase imaging approach is changing that using light intensity correlation measurements.
