Schlieren & Phase Shift Schlieren is a more cost-effective alternative to high precision measurements like interferometry

To look into active burners, we deployed our shear interferometer technology. This allows for an accurate view on small stress locations in the materials under heave thermal load.

To investigate nozzle effectiveness and the effect of flow characteristics, we used our patent Schlieren technology. This technology provides insights on how and when the thermal boundary layer was reduced maximally.

Our Optical Coherence Tomography technology has been customized so it can scan larger arteries to measure blood flow, lumen and other clinical parameters. In addition, this OCT scans those parameters in 3 dimensions.

A custom laser scanning confocal microscope was developed and built for ESA to investigate cell behavior in orbit. In addition, we had to make sure it could withstand the extreme space conditions.

We built an ex vivo blood vessel measurement device based on Optical Coherence Tomography, so you can look deeper into the skin and even below. This allows measuring blood flow rates in 3D with lumen sizes.

Coupled with a 1024 x 768 microbolometer sensor, the developed infrared optics covers a spectral range going from 8 to 14 µm. The key benefit is enhanced spatial resolution with a Ground Sampling Distance of 57 m for a flight altitude of 450 km. At this altitude, one single image covers a field of view (FOV) of 57 km (swath) x 43 km. Another advantage of the optical configuration is passive thermal compensation (no active focus). Typical thermal resolution is around 100 mK. The optics have been successfully qualified on the ground for vibration and thermal vacuum environments. This technology is relevant for different applications, such as Forest Fire monitoring, water stress management for agriculture or surveillance needs.

The origin of this imaging technology comes from the need for the monitoring camera of the BIOMASS mission. It was then adapted to the specifications of the MMX mission ((Martian Moons Exploration) in order to be integrated on a rover dedicated to Phobos exploration. Finally, it was selected for the cameras of the MSR-ERO (Mars Sample Return – Earth Return Orbiter) Programme.

Differential Interference Contrast (DIC) is a well-known optical microscopy technique to improve the contrast in unstained transparent samples. Our design IP ranges from visual to IR images with space optimization in the same optical column.
