Article Abstract
This study compared integrating-sphere and double-beam methodologies for measuring the ultraviolet/visible transmission of intraocular lenses (IOLs). Transmission spectra of control IOLs and clinically explanted IOLs were measured with an optical spectrophotometer in two optical configurations: single-beam mode with integrating sphere detector and double-beam mode with photodiode detector. Effects of temperature and surface light scattering on transmittance were measured. Effects of lens power were measured and were modeled with ray-tracing software. Results indicated that transmission was consistent over a range of IOL powers when measured with the integrating-sphere configuration, but transmission gradually decreased with increasing IOL power (in a wavelength-dependent fashion) when measured with the double-beam configuration. Ray tracing indicated that the power-dependent loss in transmission was partially due to higher-powered IOLs spreading the light beam outside of the detector area. IOLs with surface light scattering had transmission spectra that differed between double-beam and integrating-sphere configurations in a power-dependent fashion. Temperature (ambient or physiological 35°C) did not affect transmission in the integrating-sphere configuration. Overall, results indicated that double-beam spectrophotometers may be useful for measuring transmittance of low-power IOLs, but an integrating-sphere configuration should be used to obtain accurate measurements of transmittance of higher-power IOLs.

In the study of photocatalytic and photoactivated processes and devices a tight control on the illumination conditions is mandatory. The practical challenges in the determination of the necessary photonic quantities pose serious difficulties in the characterization of catalytic performance and reactor designs and configurations, compromising an effective comparison between different experiments. To overcome these limitations, we have designed and constructed a new illumination system based in the concept of the integrating sphere (IS).

Mediterranean forests represent critical areas that are increasingly affected by the frequency of droughts and fires, anthropic activities and land use changes. Optical remote sensing data give access to several essential biodiversity variables, such as species traits (related to vegetation biophysical and biochemical composition), which can help to better understand the structure and functioning of these forests. However, their reliability highly depends on the scale of observation and the spectral configuration of the sensor.

A highly fluorescent Cu-responsive sensor, 2-amino-3-(BODIPYmethyleneamino)maleonitrile (BD) was constructed by attaching diaminomaleonitrile to a BODIPY scaffold. Cu can be selectively recognized on a 2-s time-scale by way of fluorescence emission. When Cu and BD coexist in solution, typical BODIPY emission was observed and the emission intensity could be increased to 334 times that of the blank dye solution.

The rational design of next generation molecular and nanoscale reporters and the comparison of different emitter classes require the determination of the fluorometric key performance parameter fluorescence quantum yield (Φ), i.e., the number of emitted photons per number of absorbed photons.

Light scattering and inability to uniformly expose the cuvette contents to an incident light beam are significant limitations of traditional spectrophotometers. The first of these drawbacks limits their usefulness in studies of turbid cellular and tissue suspensions; the second limits their use in photodecomposition studies. Our strategy circumvents both problems.
