New Laser Sensor Accurately Measures Distances to Difficult Surfaces or Target Objects Up to 150 Metres Away

Precision sensor supplier Micro-Epsilon has introduced a non-contact laser distance sensor that measures distances up to 150 m with an accuracy of < ± 1 mm. The sensor measures accurately even on difficult surfaces such as dark, structured or weakly reflecting objects. Without any special adaptations to the target, the sensor has an impressive range up to 100 m. Adding a reflector to the target extends the range to 150 m.

A Novel Sensor for Rapid Detection of Respiratory Viruses

Viral respiratory diseases are easily transmissible and can spread rapidly across the globe, causing significant damage. The ongoing covid-19 pandemic is a testament to this. In the past too, other viruses have caused massive respiratory disease outbreaks: for example, a subtype of the influenza virus, the type A H1N1 virus, was responsible for the Spanish flu and the Swine flu outbreaks.
