Laser-based manufacturing of freeform glass micro-optics through topological transformation

Glass has been the material of choice for making optical elements, in large part due to its intrinsic properties: a temperature-dependent viscosity, which enables shaping the material into a broad variety of functional and artistic glassware. Silica glass ...

LensWatch. I. Resolved HST Observations and Constraints on the Strongly Lensed Type Ia Supernova 2022qmx ("SN Zwicky")

Frédéric Courbin, Adriano Agnello

Supernovae (SNe) that have been multiply imaged by gravitational lensing are rare and powerful probes for cosmology. Each detection is an opportunity to develop the critical tools and methodologies needed as the sample of lensed SNe increases by orders of ...

DeepFocus: a Few-shot Microscope Slide Auto-Focus using a Sample Invariant CNN-based Sharpness Function

Michael Stefan Daniel Liebling, Adrian Shajkofci

Autofocus (AF) methods are extensively used in biomicroscopy, for example to acquire timelapses, where the imaged objects tend to drift out of focus. AF algorithms determine an optimal distance by which to move the sample back into the focal plane. Current ...
