IDEX Health & Science
IDEX Health & Science highlights its participation in the PhotonicsNEXT Summit, a virtual educational event hosted by Laser Focus World that focuses on advances in photonics, imaging, and illumination technologies for life science instrumentation. During the event, IDEX Health & Science experts presented system‑level insights on how illumination sources, optical filters, objectives, and alignment collectively impact imaging performance, data fidelity, and instrument footprint. The presentations reinforce IDEX Health & Science’s role as a design and technology partner delivering optimized, high‑performance optical solutions through deep application expertise and system‑level integration.
This summer, Laser Focus World hosted a virtual educational event focused on scientific advances, photonics research and development, and application solutions. A few of our imaging and illumination experts presented how every component and optical filter in a system impacts system-level performance. Watch the presentations below to learn more.
