SHOW PREVIEW: PHOTONEX


UK in focus


Imaging will be centre stage at the UK photonics trade fair, Photonex, when it is held in Coventry from 10 to 11 October


Laser Components will be exhibiting its Flexpoint MV18 line laser module, which comes equipped with an M18 thread for easy integration into standardised systems. Te laser delivers homogeneous power distribution along the entire projected line – an important requirement for use in industrial image processing.


Among the imaging technology on display at Photonex, Casix will be showing spherical and cylindrical optics for vision applications. Te company offers bespoke aspheric and toric lenses for both prototypes and high-volume imaging applications.


Casix has two aspheric lens production cells to manufacture custom aspherics for specialist imaging applications. Te firm now also offers toric lenses for imaging and machine vision applications. Tese lenses can be manufactured in fused silica, or traditional optical glasses with anti-reflective coating in-house. www.casix.com


Princeton Instruments will promote its new deep-cooled, ultra-large-format Sophia 4096B cameras at the show. Te back-illuminated CCD cameras are engineered for applications ranging from astronomy to fluorescence imaging.


HYPERSPECTRAL IMAGING CONFERENCE TO RETURN TO PHOTONEX


The Hyperspectral Imaging and Applications conference will be part of the photonics trade fair, Photonex, when it takes place in Coventry from 10 to 11 October. Held biennially in collaboration with the Hyperspectral Imaging Centre at the University of Strathclyde, this meeting will bring together participants from all fields of hyperspectral imaging, including application engineers,


manufacturers, researchers and users in industry. Dr Gonzalo Arce of the University of Delaware, USA, and Dr John Kerekes of the Rochester Institute of Technology, USA will give keynote presentations. Hyperspectral imaging is a fast-growing technique used in surgery, remote sensing and the food industry for detecting contamination. The conference will discuss current hyperspectral

challenges and solutions: are the latest cameras becoming snapshot rather than push broom? How is hyperspectral imaging being used for real-time quantification of substances? How have developments in deep learning transformed the landscape since the last conference? Professor Stephen Marshall, director of the University of Strathclyde’s Hyperspectral Imaging


Centre, commented: ‘We are very excited for the Coventry event and looking forward to building on the success of our past HSI meetings. Running this conference alongside a significant exhibition of latest photonics technologies gives an additional benefit for delegates and a great opportunity to collaborate with fellow colleagues and suppliers.’ www.hsi2018.com

Te robust module is available in a range of wavelengths, between 405nm and 850nm. With an output power of up to 200mW, the 450nm version is currently the most powerful model in the MV series. Te laser is focused by a mechanism that ensures high beam stability and low line driſt. Te power supply can be connected by an


M12 thread at the rear of the module. Five optics variants give different combinations of line thickness and depth of field. In addition to the standard version with adjustable focus, Laser Components also offers the module in a low-priced version with factory-fixed focus. www.lasercomponents.co.uk


Te cameras offer excellent field-flattener performance via use of a reduced window-to- CCD surface distance, as well as minimised window thickness. Tey also feature a back- illuminated 4,096 x 4,096 pixel sensor format, 15µm pixels, 95 per cent peak quantum efficiency, up to 18-bit digitisation, read noise as low as 2 e- rms, and a four-port, 16MHz readout architecture for fast frame rates. Plus they use Princeton Instruments ArcTec, a technology that uses air or liquid to thermoelectrically cool the cameras to -90°C.
