Blu-ray player gathering dust? Turn it into a laser-scanning microscope Not as powerful as a commercial one, but thousands cheaper.

This 3D-printed confocal laser scanning microscope is a good example of an instrument for measuring really small stuff.

Laser scanning is tempting as a catch all technology to document existing conditions, but quality assurance/quality control and support are absolutely key to making it work for your firm.

ScanLab is at the bleeding edge of large-scale 3-D laser scanning, conjuring striking, ghostly reproductions of castles, museums, ice floes and more from billions of millimeter-precise dots.
