Fiber optic sensors enable new MRI applications
Fiber optic sensors have become a critical technology enabler behind the latest functional MRI(magnetic resonance imaging) suite upgrades and new MRI equipment designs. It is increasingly desirable to synchronize certain patient activity with the MRI imaging system. The incredible high magnetic field strengths are increasing with each generation (3.0 Tesla being the top of the […]
Enhanced Fiber Optic Position Sensor Now Offers 14-Bit Resolution
The Micronor MR330 series Fiber Optic Absolute Position Sensor System now features 14-bit single-turn resolution. The enhanced performance is accomplished via improved electronics and new firmware-based algorithm update to the MR330-1 SSI Controller Module which is backwards compatible with earlier units. Rotary sensors are offered in two models – Standard MR332 and MRI Safe MR338. […]
Micronor launches Model MR330 fiber-optic position sensor
Micronor (www.micronor.com) has unveiled the first commercially offered fiber-optic position sensor suitable for long-distance position sensing without being affected by ground loop issues — the Model MR330 fiber-optic position sensor. Its optical design provides immunity to all electro-magnetic interference such as radiation, magnetic fields, lightning and other extreme conditions. Without any electronic component, the position […]
