A new directive to safeguard people against the effects of radiation, including radon, has been introduced by the European Union. The Basic Safety Standards (BSS 2013/59/EURATOM) were published in the official Journal of the European Union in January 2014. This new update is a response to European Union recommendations published, for the first time, in […]

With more than several thousand publications in under two years, CRISPR-Cas9 revolutionized the science world and more particularly cellular and molecular biology. CRISPR-Cas9 technology allows genetic editing through mutation. For example, this leads to the generation of Knock-In or Knock-Out mice for animal studies [1]. Introducing mutation requires some controls to check the validity and […]

FusionSight was officially selected by the USSOCOM to be part of a technical evaluation on Night Vision technologies, at Camp Blanding (Florida) between 14 and 16 November. Assessments took place on the edge of an airstrip, surrounded by a pine forest and decommissioned buildings. There was a “supermoon” on 14 November, which means the luminosity […]

After a useful digital zoom implemented in October, two brand new features were activated in FusionSight: a Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) and snapshots recording. Since the hardware dedicated to these features was already included, both FusionSight weight and design remain the same. To keep acquisition and maintenance costs as low as possible, the FusionSight […]
