Laser Ablation Tomography (LAT) is capable of rapidly acquiring three-dimensional structural and compositional data with micron resolution in opaque specimens.  The LAT Scan process uses a 355 nanometer q-switched, pulsed laser and a rapidly-swept galvanometer scanner to continuously vaporize a thin surface layer of a sample.  The emitted light is directed through an optical system for filtering and imaging, creating highly contrasted, colorful stacks of images.  Stacks of images are then processed and reconstructed into a high-resolution volume rendering that can be analyzed, quantified, segmented and virtually dissected. Although dependent on sample size and composition, acquisition speeds exceed that of conventional techniques like micro x-ray CT and confocal microscopy. This method allows for data acquisition at unprecedented speed with little to no need for staining or complex preparatory procedures, facilitating more rapid scientific discovery.www.l4is.comhttps://www.youtube.com/user/L4ISLLChttps://plus.google.com/+L4isllc/about

Designing and Installing Green Roofs since 1980Green Roof Technology is committed to creating a more sustainable and livable urban environment. We are dedicated to the essential engineering principal of form and function by utilizing common sense. Our belief is that living-green infrastructure is the most sustainable, cost effective method to combat the mounting environmental issues facing our cities and municipalities. With over 30 years of experience on all types of green roof projects, Green Roof Technology is redefining the urban natural habitat, reducing the heat-island effect, saving energy and most importantly alleviating stormwater issues. Located in Baltimore, MD, Green Roof Technology specializes in designing, engineering and implementing ground-remote vegetation, Solar Garden Roofs, Green Infrastructure Master Plans, luxury roof-top gardens, effective bio-filtration, natural swimming pools, green walls, intelligent urban agriculture, and advanced green infrastructure research programs.
