Virtually Imaged Phased Arrays (#VIPAs) are contributing to #Brillouin #microscopy, enabling a deeper understanding of biological tissue mechanics. Brillouin microscopy analyzes the inelastic #scattering of light, offering insights into mechanical properties. VIPAs play a crucial role in the #spectrometers used for this technique, helping to precisely measure the subtle frequency shifts that occur.

I’m the kind of #physics person who likes to build #ScientificInstruments, lately #benchtopNMR #spectrometers for #chemistry. I need lots of #tools to do my thing. This is my #Hardinge HLV-H #lathe, just after I finished a renovation in 2017. It was made in 1968 in Elmira, New York. In that era in the US, there were two competing high-precision “tool room” lathes, this one and the Monarch 10EE.
