The sound of light: rotary servo table helps with 3D imaging
Edited by Mike Santora Optoacoustic tomography (OAT) is a technique for generating high-resolution images of biological tissue that scatters light waves, typically biological tissue. OAT systems create these images with pulses of dark red light that have a maximum duration of 50 nanoseconds. These pulses heat the tissue and cause it to expand launching ultrasound…

FAQ: What are some alternative ways to get DOFs from XY gantries?
Repeatability and accuracy are core to all motion systems — especially XY gantries. On gantries, controls make axes run through predefined trajectories. Traditional XY gantry setups include an upper Y-axis gantry member sitting on twin X1 and X2 support axes. The latter axes include motor, screw, and bearing separated by a finite distance orthogonal to stroke. […]
