...y researchers are blazing the trail in the use of lasers to detect and measure pollutants in burning fuel, ...dustry didn't put much stock in the idea of using lasers to find the concentrations of pollutants in flames," Laurendeau says. "I wasn't sure when we starte...First TableTop Source Of Concentrated X-Rays Built
...aging, Murnane said. Moreover,whereas traditional lasers emit visible and near-infrared light (withwavelengths in the 500-1000 nanometer range), those from the U-M device areabout 20nm, with the possibility of being as short as 2nm. The shorter thewavelength, the higher the spatial resolution of the beam....U-M Engineers Win Army Grant To Build Artificial Eye

...retory granules. The microscope, which uses pulsed lasers for excitation, can record ultraviolet (UV) fluorescence images of live cells without using UV illumination to detect and image cellular activity. "This technique caught serotonin granules in the act of releasing the substance, without damaging the c...Duke's Russian Laser Making Ultraviolet Light And Gamma Rays
