Infrared Lasers Tracking a laser or infrared with digital camera?
I remember reading a neat tutorial somewhere on how to turn an old digital camera or webcam into a laser or infrared tracking device, so that it tracks your movements on the computer. I have looked high and low for the past two hours on the web and cannot seem to find the website anywhere. If anyone can be of assistance, I would be greatful.
I know that there is a filter over the lens of a webcam that filters out IR light so you cant see it in the image- but if you pop the camera open and remove the filter (looks kind of like a piece of a film negative) and put the camera back together, you will be able to see IR light- test it with your TV remote.
A comprehensive introduction to the burgeoning field of photonicsThe field of photonics is finding increasing applications across a broad range of industries.

Among the many intense light sources, excimer lasers have a unique set of properties that place them at the forefront of tooling for material processing. Their extreme versatility means that they can be used in many areas of materials science and medicine. But three conditions need to be fulfilled in order that their versatility be truly appreciated and exploited: the characteristics and limitations of the sources must be known; the basic excimer laser processes should become reasonably widely known; and problems in search of a solution should be clearly identified. Excimer Lasers covers all three of these points in an instructive and logical way. Probably for the first time, both instrumental and fundamental aspects of excimer laser interaction with matter are presented sidebyside, with examples drawn from the widest range of materials. The articles gathered here are tutorial in their nature, thus making them suitable for a wide readership, from recent graduates and postgraduate students to those established scientists entering the field, all of whom could not find a better, nor more authoritative work with which to start their reading.

Infrared laser beaming to power a model aircraft
Hair removal lasers used infrared, is it possible that it can percipitate to microwave?
Infrared is higher on the electromagnetic spectrum. My question is that when the infrared laser hits its target, is it possible that microwave radiation can precipitate past the target?
No. IR and microwaves are electromagnetic radiation with by vastly different wavelengths. The laser IR, though, can and does heat the skin. The effectiveness for hair removal is based on the fact that hair, being very thin, can be heated much faster than skin. So, a short enough pulse can burn the hair, but not the skin.
Collimator Use Question about Baader Laser Colli for SCTs?
Hi, I just received a Baader Laser Collimator that I plan on using with my Celestron 8" SCT. In the pictures I have seen, and also in the manual they illustrate the collimator being used without a diagonal. But since I always use my diagonal when I am observing shouldn't I use it when I am collimating my scope?
Thanks.
if your diagonal is a good one and accurately square, it shouldn't make any difference. but since that's how you observe, you should collimate with the optical system as close to how you actually use it.
with that said, scts hold collimation well. you shouldn't need to do this very often.

How do you build a telescope? I need someone to check my answer..?
I am putting up a site called www.howtelescopeswork.com In it, I talk about tips on viewing astronomy, the moon, planets, etc. I have plans that I redrew for a dobsonian telescope, multiple truss tube sizes, building a laser collimator and even a camera barn door mount. I would like any feed back on this before I send it to the printers. I am releasing this because of the year of astronomy! Oh, and don't forget to hit some of the sponser links. This helps pay for the webspace I am using up!
The first thing I looked for isn't there (or I couldn't find it quickly): how to determine the sizes, prices, quality, supplier of your mirrors.
A site map, for easy reference, might be a good idea too.
Did anyone see green laser light coming from the verdugo hills on Saturday ?
I was driving home on sat and saw a couple of green laser like streams of light coming from the hills near Glendale. It happened only a couple of times then stopped, but I was driving and the area went out of view. Is there something in that area that would procduce that kind of light?
Q-switch tattoo laser removal - Is it completely safe and normal for my ankle and lower foot to be swollen?
I just had my 1st treatment on Sat. and the area beinf lasered is my inner ankle, so now my foot is swollen and it appears that I don't have an ankle Haha!- that's how puffy it is. The CLS told me this would happen, but I just want to make sure it will go back to normal? How long does it take for the body to heal from this type of procedure? Thanks!
I would follow any healing advise that they gave you to the letter. Keep you foot elevated when possible. Take ibuprofen. And stay off of your feet as much as possible. I'm sure that the healing time varies from person to person, but depends much on how well you take care of it.
High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles An ocular micrometer is a glass disk that fits in a microscope eyepiece that has a ruled scale, which is used to measure the size of magnified objects. The physical length of the marks on the scale depend on the degree of magnification. A microscope (from the Greek:, mikros, small and, skopein, to look or see ) is an instrument to see objects too small for the naked eye. The science of investigating small objects using such an instrument is called microscopy. Microscopic means invisible to the eye unless aided by a microscope.

The young human eye has the ability to dynamically change focus across a broad range of distances. Unfortunately, this ability is lost with age, requiring the use of corrective lenses to achieve acute near vision. Ideally, a process called lens refilling, in which the lens cells are removed from the capsular bag and replaced with a soft polymer, could restore focal range by mimicking the young natural lens. However, the coupling of optical and mechanical behaviors of the lens in accommodation is not well understood. These relationships must be determined for the natural lens to predict whether the lens refill procedure would be efficacious. Furthermore, the lack of an appropriate animal model and an ideal prosthetic material have impeded progress. The advent of robotics technology enabled the construction of an artificial ciliary muscle to mimic the in vivo action of the eye. This allowed unprecedented accuracy and precision in mapping changes of the lens during focusing, enabling the first indepth study of the optomechanical behaviors of both natural and refilled lenses. Refilling lens capsular bags with a homogeneous polymer gave mixed results. Therefore, the mechanical properties of the natural lens were investigated using a novel microindentation device, indicating large spatial variation of the elastic modulus. Additional work indicated that this variation results from the cytoskeletal architecture, whereas viscous damping is granted by the cytoplasm. Optomechanical and biometric characterization of the natural lens allowed for the development of a specification for the ideal lens prosthesis material. Methods for determining an optimal elasticity gradient for maximum accommodation and generating a polymeric hydrogel with similar gradient properties are proposed.

what is individual power of the : ocular_______ scanner objective_______ and low power objective lens_______?
from the microscope.
Your question is confusing, but with the words - scanner objective - in there I assume you may be talking about - scanners..????
Some scanners, my Epson V750 for example, has resolution selective scanner lenses (objectives) and these are not invoked by the owner but are, however, selected by the machine with the resolution of the scan you asked... So in a way, they are invoked by the owner, but not at any ol' time you want.
The objective lenses are not given as a power, like 10x or 50x but only aid the CCD in the scanner head to see closer to your scanned object as you kick up the scanners resolution, in pixels because generally, as you scan closer, your scanning a smaller and smaller area. I can just read the micro fine printing put on US bills these days with my scanner and when I kick it into a high rez mode a "head" flips, bringing in a more powerful lens. I do not know the "power" tho of the 2 lenses..
