At Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, researchers are conducting cutting edge work to build highly efficient, noninvasive sensors based on carbon nanotube technologies. For example, researchers are building a sensor based on enzymes that self-assemble layer by layer onto tiny hallow carbon tubes. When the sensor encounters organophosphates, the active agent in certain insecticides and chemical warfare agents, the enzymes slow down. The reduced activity is transmitted as an electrochemical signal through the carbon nanotubes to the attached electrode. The resulting measurements can show the concentration of organophosphates in a person's saliva, a city's water supply, or other contaminated waters.

Olympus E-500 ( KODAK CCD sensor ) + Olympus Zuiko Digital ED 50mm f/2.0 Macro
OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA
I came across this interesting comparison on the internet today. I'm toying with the idea of getting another compact camera and at present it's a toss up between the Sony 100 iii (still available though newer models have been released) and the not yet released Panasonic TZ90.
The Sony has a 1" sensor whilst the Panasonic has a 1/2.3" sensor; this is somewhat outweighed by the Panasonic's longer optical zoom range and more flexible screen.
Given the generally poor performance of my Ricoh GR4 (which has a 1/1.7'' sensor) compared with my iPhone 6 (1/3'' sensor) perhaps I don't need another compact camera anyway.

See It All 24/7 Day Night surveillance
Infiniti’s cooled thermal cameras let you see further than any
other night vision technology, using heat rather than light to
see objects. This cooled thermal imaging camera is equipped
with a midwave, cooled Indium Animonide (InSb or MCT) detector, producing ultra-sharp thermal images of 640×480~1280x720 pixels. This will satisfy users that want to see the smallest of details and demand the best possible
image quality. It allows the user to see more detail and detect smaller objects from a further distance. Coupled with a high sensitivity, and leading germanium optics, this camera offers extreme long-range performance and excellent image
quality.
17X Continuous Zoom Germanium Lens
The cooled MCT thermal core is paired with a precision-engineered low f stop germanium zoom lens allowing you to view targets with a 16X optical zoom range from 85mm to 1400mm. This allows for long range detection of thermal targets by offering anything from a 8.6° to 0.5° field of view. These lenses also feature auto focus capabilities, delivering crisp, clear images even when adjusting zoom, ensuring
optimal performance and situational awareness in the wide field of view and crisp details in the narrow field of view.
Extreme Long Range Detection
The Viper is a Mid-Wave Infrared (MWIR) thermal camera which means it operates on 3,000nm–5,000nm wavelengths where terrestrial temperature targets emit most of their infrared energy. Using real-time image enhancements (anti-blooming, contrast enhancement and scene optimization), this system is capable of detecting vehicles up to 55km away.* While thermal is a significant investment, its superior range and performance allows it to replace and outperform all other solutions, making it a viable option for many applications.

Cooled HD MWIR Thermal Infrared MTC MID-Wave IR Camera Core
Real-time Thermal infrared image optimization via advanced image processing DICE is much more than simple digital detail edge enhancement. DICE powered by DRS proprietary Edge Enhancement and optimization techniques coupled with Dynamic Contrast Thresholding and Adaptive Rescaling. Unlike other digital detail enhancement technologies on the market, DICE is dynamic intelligent image optimization for incremental and proportionate response making superior to image contrast enhancement that is done digitally making Infiniti thermal cameras far superior resulting increased ranges and sharper images compared to other infrared sensors.
Thermal GE germanium Infrared Zoom Lens with Auto Focus MWIR Cooled ThermalOur Germanium lenses are perfect for Mid-Infrared applications. These lenses stand up well to harsh environments and we offer the most popular sizes with Anti-Reflection Coatings. Germanium is subject to thermal runaway, meaning that the transmission decreases as temperature increases. Germanium’s high density (5.33 g/cm3) should be considered when designing for weight-sensitive systems. The Knoop Hardness of Germanium is 780, making it ideal for IR applications requiring rugged optics.

Continuous Zoom Thermal Infrared, SWIR, MWIR and LWIR Optics
Infiniti’s optics are precision engineered and designed to offer unparalleled performance. Our custom made long-range optics are similar to telescopes in that they uses large mirrors to reflect and focus light, with much larger diameters, allowing them to gather and collect significantly more light than traditional lenses. We can achieve focal lengths of up to 9000mm and resolution of up to 60MP on VIS/NIR. Traditionally these optics were only utilized by NASA for space observation and in military spy satellites costing upwards of 250 million dollars. Infiniti has brought this technology to security & surveillance sensors, providing ultra-long-range surveillance and reconnaissance to marine and terrestrial applications for military logistics, critical infrastructure protection, and homeland security.

This allows Infiniti Optics to provide up to 400% greater zoom power and higher resolutions than our competitors who offer a maximum of 1100mm before the use of a doubler. Infiniti’s ultra-long-range electro-optics pass rigorous control processes and performance benchmarks to ensure maximum optical clarity. These ultra-long-range optics, unlike standard lenses, are not measured in line pairs but in ARC resolution, which is a standard for evaluating telescopes for space observation. Infiniti’s 3050mm lens can resolve a 7mm feature at 1km, making it vastly superior in range and performance than any other zoom lens. Since these types of optics are not like standard lenses, they do not have an iris or shutter, they are unable to be installed in most imaging applications because they are can’t adapt to changing light. Infiniti’s optional Automatic Light Optimizer (ALO) uses the video signal to automatically adjust the amount of light that hits the sensor, performing the same function as a shutter and iris in a traditional camera and lens. The ALO eliminates over and underexposure by providing the correct amount of light for the camera producing the best image.

HD Visible/NIR CMOS HD Day Night Camera
The Viper’s visible camera was designed and optimized for long range surveillance. It uses a 1/2.8" progressive scan or 1/1.9 star light CMOS sensor with an HD resolution of 1920×1080 and a fantastic signal to noise ratio of 55dB. The 1/2.8" sensor has excellent spectral sensitivity for both visible and NIR wavelengths and features an automatic IR
cut filter, making it a true day/night camera providing clear color images by day and black and white images at night. The 1/2.8" sensor provides the best balance between light sensitivity and maximum zoom, making it particularly suited for long range surveillance.
Real Time Image Processing & Optimization
The Viper also integrates the latest technology in real-time image processing such as BLC, HLC, DWDR, EIS, ROI, 3D DNR, ABF, Defog/ Haze etc. Each of these image enhancements can be automatic or user-defined and calibrated based on the application requirements. Since the camera is native IP, all of these settings can be changed and configured remotely, along with remote PTZ and zoom control.
16~2050mm Long Range 128X Continuous Zoom Lens
The Viper comes equipped with a precision engineered 16–2050mm IR-corrected continuous zoom lens with motorized HD doubler, offering an incredible 128X zoom range from 19° through to a very narrow 0.15° FOV when paired with the 1/2.8" sensor. That's equivalent to a “full-frame” DSLR camera using a 13,500mm lens! Infiniti’s zoom optics are built with the highest quality Japanese fluorite ELD low dispersion glass, and the integrated rapid auto focus allows long range
recognition and identification of targets without operator intervention.
Integrated Haze/Smoke/Fog Filter
The lens also incorporates a motorized fog filter that is used with the camera’s monochrome mode and de-haze image processing to see through fog, smoke, smog and haze that render standard optical cameras unusable. Infiniti’s HD Zoom camera is a perfect synergy between precision craftsmanship, state of the art sensor hardware and the latest image processing for unparalleled range and performance.
1–5km IR ZLID IR Laser infrared Illumination
Many laser illuminators overexpose the center of the screen and leave the edges dark. Our laser has an adjustable 0.5° to 19.5° angle of view, and Infiniti’s ZLID (Zoom Laser IR Diode) technology synchronizes IR intensity and area illumination with the zoom lens for outstanding active IR performance, eliminating over-exposure, washout, and hot-spots for clear images in complete darkness. An optional LRF is also available that can automatically turn off the laser if an object is detected within the NOHD making it safe.
Weapons Grade Gyro Stabilized Pan Tilt Drive/ positioner
The integrated Dual Elliptical Synchronous Drive P/T Positioner is weapons systems grade positioner designed for
military applications and is able to withstand shock and vibration for use on tanks and navy vessels. The pan tilt implements an Elliptical Synchronous Drive for high torque to handle large payloads while providing micro steps as precise as 0.00025° for smooth manual control or automatic slew to cue tracking when used with Video Analytics, VTMS systems, Radar, AIS and weapon systems. The integrated multi-axis gyro stabilization uses a high-rate MEMS gyro in combination with the pan/tilt to mechanically stabilize the payload, reducing the effects of vibration, oscillation, pitch and roll for
unparalleled stabilization on tanks, humvees, assault vehicles and more.
Rugged And Robust military grad MIL-810-STD
The Viper is comprised of military grade, precision engineered
components and manufactured using unique processes to offer absolute performance. It uses a military style connector to supply power, video, and communication over a single cable and does not require a junction box or external electronics of any kind, increasing reliability and the amount of time required to install the system. The entire system is designed for the most demanding mobile applications.
It is MIL-STD-810F/G tested and certified and is sealed to a minimum of IP66 making it water and dust proof. Its internal heater/blower allows it operate in conditions from –50°C to +65°C and both the pan/tilt and enclosure use a tough anti corrosion finish for continued operation in the most brutal and harsh climatic conditions.
Intuitive And User Friendly
While the Viper is an extremely sophisticated multi-sensor system it is also a user friendly plug-and-play solution controllable by touch screen, mouse, VMS systems, DVR/NVR or 3-axis joystick. This allows the Viper to be operated by any individual with little or no training and ensures compatibility with new and existing equipment.
Remote Connectivity IP Internet Ready ONVIF 2.2 Profile -S
The Viper is an IP system that allows you to instantly and remotely connect, and control it through the internet in real-time from anywhere in the world using Ascendent Remote Management Software (ARMS) on your laptop, iPhone, or Android device. For remote or mobile applications Internet bandwidth is often limited, which why our DVRs, NVRs and IP cameras can record at one resolution and stream
at another. Our web client also allows you to change your settings, update firmware and activate image enhancements in real time even including back focus lens adjustment.

Agfa Silette LK Sensor, introduced 1970, perhaps one of the last Silettes and an early Agfa with the red shutter release button. The body is based on the Agfa Optima 200 from 1968.
It is a low-budget camera, the lens barrel and the housing are made of plastic, though the top and the bottom look like metal. This camera hasn't a rewind crank, the rewinding is done by the advance lever, when the button "R" is tripped before, so the inner mechanism is complex.
The lens is a Color-Agnar 2.8/45 mm with three elements, the shutter is a Parator with 1/30 to 1/300 s and B. The Selenium exposure meter is coupled and the match needle is displayed in the viewfinder and on top, the ASA range is from 25 to 400 ASA. All settings has to be done manually, like on all Silettes, I think. The LK has a thread for a cable release on the backside and a hot shoe. There is no self-timer, no focussing aid and the frame counter has to be reset manually.
(If you want to remove the top plate: there is a third screw hidden in the hot shoe. The cover in the hot shoe has the most diabolic clip mechanism I've ever experienced.)

Cheyenne linemen install sensors on a lattice steel structure on the Ault-to-Hayden 345-kilovolt line. The sensor will measure conductor or static temperature, current, movement along every axis and the speed of the motion. Using this data, maintenance crews and engineers are investigating if spacer dampers on this line need to be replaced and if a different configuration may better prevent the conductors from hitting each other.

A simple heartbeat sensor for arduino. Communicates each beat to the computer via serial over USB. A little script in Processing sends OSC messages to SuperCollider which makes a sound. Processing also displays a graph of beats per minute readings from the Arduino.
This version sends serial messages over the USB connection, a later version sends OSC messages over ethernet (even cooler!) (http://www.flickr.com/photos/chuck_notorious/4041494889/).
Next step: use the Arduino Ethernet shield to send OSC messages directly.
