X-ray spectroscopy measurements that previously needed to be done at a synchrotron facility could become available to a broader audience thanks to a new tabletop system (Anal. Chem. 2022, DOI: 10.1021 ...

X‐ray mirror metrology and optics is a rapidly evolving field that underpins the performance of advanced X‐ray imaging systems and next‐generation light sources. The discipline focuses on the precise ...

Berry Beumer from X-Ray Optical Systems or XOS shows us the optical systems that his company manufactures. In particular the polycapillary optics and doubly curved crystal optics. These are used in ...

Shini talks to us about optical instruments and how they make magnification possible. How do lenses work? How do they form images? Well, in order to understand how optics work, we have to understand ...

For decades, astronomers have searched for signs of extraterrestrial intelligence using radio telescopes and optical instruments, scanning the skies for artificial signals. Now, researchers are taking ...

Astronomy has always relied on optical instruments, from the early Galilean telescope to fiber-fed spectrographs, so much so that astronomy and modern optics are called astrophotonics. Since ...
