In situ detection of multitarget impurities on contact lens by electrochemical scanning probe

Identifying multitarget impurities on contact lenses is challenging because traditional methods such as polymerase chain reaction cannot be used on the unknown target. Other sampling methods often require expensive antibodies or dyes. Therefore, this resea ...

Intraocular Lens Refractive Index and Its Impact on External Surface Reflections

Georges Wagnières

PURPOSE: To determine and compare the origin of the external surface reflections produced by commonly used intraocular lenses (IOLs). METHODS: The specular reflection taking place at the anterior surface of eight types of IOLs (IOL power = 22.00 diopters M ...

Fabrication of moire on curved surfaces

Roger Hersch, Vahid Babaei

Moire is an appealing visual effect observable when two or more repetitive patterns are superposed. Fabrication of moire effects has already proven to be useful in a range of applications, from art to engineering. Here, we introduce a method for designing ...

Level-line moirés by superposition of cylindrical microlens gratings

Jürgen Brugger, Roger Hersch, Thomas Walger, Valentin Flauraud, Théophane Besson

Two superposed layers of transparent cylindrical lenslet gratings create classical moiré fringes when illuminated from behind. We rely on this observation to conceive special devices made of superposed lenslet gratings that produce compelling beating shape ...
