Near Infrared Oxymetry

Near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) and near-infrared optical imaging (NIRI) on turbid media such as biological tissue is a rapid growing field of interest. The techniques offer the ability to use light to non-invasive quantify metabolite concentration and to image structure within the human body. In particular methods for monitoring the blood volume are currently under study. Near infrared light (+/- 700-900 nm) is used in the applications because of the relative transparency of tissue to light in this wavelength region while the oxygen dependent absorption of hemoglobin is still observable.

DSPE Opto-Mechatronics Symposium 2026

The seventh edition of the DSPE Opto-Mechatronics Symposium will take place on 8 October 2026. This year’s theme is ‘The opto-mechatronics of telescopes: from tiny to extremely large’.

DSPE and LiS join forces

SDPE supports the nationwide expansion of the Leidse instrumentmakers School (LiS) to strengthen the pipeline of precision manufacturing professionals in the Netherlands.

Structure-preserving model reduction

High-precision machines are often modelled as assemblies of flexible substructures, which preserves physical insight but leads to models that are too large for efficient dynamic analysis and control design.
