6-APA ((+)-6-aminopenicillanic acid) is a chemical compound used as an intermediate in the synthesis of β–lactam antibiotics. The major commercial source of 6-APA is still natural penicillin G. The semi-synthetic penicillins derived from 6-APA are also referred to as penicillins and are considered part of the penicillin family of antibiotics ...
Scientist using an optical microscope in a laboratory. The optical microscope, also referred to as a light microscope, is a type of microscope that commonly uses visible light and a system of lenses to generate magnified images of small objects.
Optical flow or optic flow is the pattern of apparent motion of objects, surfaces, and edges in a visual scene caused by the relative motion between an observer and a scene. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Optical flow can also be defined as the distribution of apparent velocities of movement of brightness pattern in an image.
An illustration of some of the optical devices available for laboratory work in England in 1858. An optical instrument is a device that processes light waves (or photons), either to enhance an image for viewing or to analyze and determine their characteristic properties.
Experimental setup of the MOT. In atomic, molecular, and optical physics, a magneto-optical trap (MOT) is an apparatus which uses laser cooling and a spatially varying magnetic field to create a trap which can produce samples of cold neutral atoms.
Fibre-optic communication relies on lasers to transmit large amounts of information at the speed of light. Other common applications of lasers include laser printers and laser pointers . Lasers are used in medicine in areas such as bloodless surgery , laser eye surgery , and laser capture microdissection and in military applications such as ...
[6] Gould co-founded an optical telecommunications equipment firm, Optelecom Inc. , that helped start Ciena Corp with his former head of Light Optics Research, David Huber and Kevin Kimberlin . Huber and Steve Alexander of Ciena invented the dual-stage optical amplifier [ 7 ] ( U.S. patent 5,159,601 ) that was a key to the first dense wave ...
