Schrödinger’s cat (sort of)
We don’t quite get involved in the “no information” scenarios like the Schrödinger's cat experiment, but two of our newest MityCAMs incorporate sCMOS sensors from Fairchild Imaging that offer superior performance in low light applications.

Wearable Technology: Ring Theory Puts a Ring on It
A couple of weeks ago, I blogged about wearable technology. Shortly after the post appeared, I got an e-mail from a friend in Boston who wrote to me about her wearable tech: a pass for using the “T”, Boston’s public transportation system. It’s called the Sesame Ring, and it kind of looks like something that […]
