AN OPTICAL NANOREPORTER OF ENDOLYSOSOMAL LIPID ACCUMULATION REVEALS ENDURING EFFECTS OF DIET ON HEPATIC MACROPHAGES IN VIVO
Dr. Dan Heller’s research led to a very interesting discovery. Using SWCNT-based optical reporter and our IR VIVO™ imager, his group found that elevated lipid quantities in hepatic macrophages - the liver - caused by a high-fat diet persist long after reverting to a normal diet. In other words, Morgan Spurlock (the Super Size Me guy) might have affected his health irreversibly for his movie.

ELECTROSTATIC DEPOSITION OF LARGE-SURFACE GRAPHENE
The department of electrical engineering from ÉTS used RIMA to map the G’ band over a wide area for their new publication. Their paper presents a method for electrostatic deposition of graphene over a large area using controlled electrostatic exfoliation from a Highly Ordered Pyrolytic Graphite (HOPG) block.

WHITE PAPER - COOLING SWIR SENSORS
AN OVERVIEW
Dark current is a critical parameter when one is looking to acquire a scientific imaging camera, especially in the short-wave infrared (SWIR) region. Very careful attention must be paid to the cooling method used to optimize this parameter. In this white paper, a short introduction to thermoelectric (TE) cooling is presented, as well as a comparison with other available cooling methods.
