Impetux has been awarded AGAIN with the Innovative SME seal. This certification is awarded by the Spanish Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities in recognition of the investment done in research. We really have an innovative soul!
The Nobel Prize in Physics 2018 has recognized the great pioneering work in the field of laser done by Arthur Ashkin, Gérard Mourou and Donna Strickland. Congratulations to the three of them for this well deserved recognition and especially to Dona Strickland for becoming only the third woman in history to win the physics prize. Her predecessor: Maria Goeppert-Mayer was awarded 55 years ago!
Recently, the paper: “Optical Force Sensing With Cylindical Microcontainers” has been published in the Particle & Particle System Characterization Journal.
In this work Professor Denz and her team: Mr. Meissner and Dr. Oliver, use our force measurement system commercially available: Lunam T-40i, to measure forces on cylindrical probes (*) in order to establish whether the established methodology for force sensing based on spherical objects still applies for other geometrically anisotropic probes.

An interesting new article have been published today in Scientific Reports related with IMPETUX technology:
In optical tweezers, heating of the sample due to absorption of the laser light is a major concern as temperature plays an important role at microscopic scale deeply dicused in this article.
In this article the authors demonstrate that the beam momentum detection can be applied to measure forces on optically trapped cylinders, without the need for previous trap calibration or complete understanding of the trapping dynamics. (more…)
An indispensable manual edited by Dr Arne Gennerich that includes cutting-edge methods and protocols, provides step-by-step detail essential for reproducible results and contains key notes and implementation advice from the experts. (more…)
Two scientific articles form the 15th Workshop on Information Optics (WIO) (2016), have been released:
and
Both are related with the IMPETUX technology and good examples of its applications.
We invite you to have a look!
Impetux has received THE SEAL OF EXCELLENCE certificate from the European Commission (more…)
The past 7th of June, The Japan Market Expansion Competition (JMEC) announced the winners of the JMEC 22 program at its annual JMEC Awards Ceremony at the Tokyo American Club.
We are very glad and proud to say that “Team 7″, 3rd Prize winners of JMEC 22, worked on our project !!! (more…)
