    Large optical image rotation for project

    Hi, fellow physics friends! I'm doing a small interior decoration project in which I need optical image rotation as a component. I know that this can be done (see e.g. http://www.optics.arizona.edu/optomech/papers/swift%201972.pdf for a review paper). I've also seen Half-Penta Prisms sold...

    How Do I Create a Specific Bitmap Image for Focused Ion Beam Microscopy?

    I am trying to create a nano - size pyramid using an FIB - Focused Ion Beam Microscope. The way it works is, it takes a 1000 x 1000 pixel bitmap image as an input. Each pixel is in gray scale. At the start we input a maximum value: let's say we set 'black' as 100 nm. If the pixel is black, then...

    Is image and range of a LT the same thing ? (Why are they named like that)

    Is "image" and "range" of a LT the same thing ? (Why are they named like that) If you were to tell me that "range" and "span" meant the same thing I would understand why, in english their meaning's describe a similar sort of idea but I can't see any similarity in range and image. Why are they...
