Expanded service provides optical solutions for medical fluorescence imaging

Optical engineering services firm ASE Optics (Rochester, NY) is expanding their unique Discovery Service to reach companies worldwide. The service includes 20 hours of focused optical engineering for a discounted cost. Developed as an integrated tool to put "stuck" projects back on track fast, the service rapidly determines feasibility, difficulty or cost for new designs; defines a problem within a larger program context; and troubleshoots a practical solution for a tightly defined problem.

Representative projects include:

• Analyze tolerance of an ultra-fast laser system.
• Investigate LED spotlight instrument homogenization techniques.
• Analyze opto-mechanical tolerance for a high-resolution fluorescence imaging lens.
• Analyze laser-based sheet illumination and imaging system for zero-gravity turbulence studies.
• Develop optical specs for a medical fluorescence imaging system.
• Develop low-stress assembly technique for a polarization imaging system.
• Design linear lenslet array for controlled image diffusion.
• Develop sampling techniques for scanning optical metrology systems.
• Develop procedures for a precision optical element alignment station.
• Design IR imaging lens.
• Investigate novel imaging lens systems for horizon imaging.
