Earlier this year, I was at Photonics Europe 2022 in Strasbourg. I had a lot of fun with many talks, but there was one topic that really piqued my interest: additive manufacturing. I have always been interested in 3D printing, and I know from experience how useful they can be: printing mechanical pieces in the…More

Sony’s Destiny, Leonardo’s telescope, and more: THE WEEKLY RECAP (2022#05)
Really packed week. Maybe some good job-related news in the near future? Crossing fingers. Also, more and more deadlines incoming, and winter is hitting quite hard during the past few days: Spring, come save us soon. A matter of Destiny? Who would have thought that, after creating the most iconic Xbox IP (Halo), Bungie would…More
Blah, blah, blah; Bezosism moves, and more: THE WEEKLY RECAP (2021#46)
Super interesting news this week. The Climate Change Conference ended and it kinda sucked (as expected). Amazon keeps screwing around (as expected). The metaverse is coming, and its start is not really impressive (as expected). On the bright side, a couple really cool articles on eyeglasses and the press. Let’s start: The invisible tech Good…More
Giga-voxel multidimensional fluorescence imaging combining single-pixel detection and data fusion
Some time ago I wrote a short post about using Data Fusion (DF) to perform some kind of Compressive Sensing (CS). We came with that idea when tackling a common problem in multidimensional imaging systems: the more you want to measure, the harder it gets. It is not only the fact that you need a…More
Handling negative patterns for fast single-pixel lifetime imaging
A group of researchers working in France and USA, leaded by N. Ducros, has uploaded an interesting paper this week. When doing single-pixel imaging, one of the most important aspects you need to take into account is the kind of structured patters (functions) you are going to use. This is quite relevant because it is…More
Wavefront correction in two-photon microscopy with a multi-actuator adaptive lens
The group leaded by P. Artal at Murcia University has recently published an interesting paper related to adaptive optics using an adaptive lens. When working in a real scenario, imperfections in the optical elements you use or just the objects you want to image introduce optical aberrations in the pictures you obtain. Usually these aberrations reduce…More
