Expert: #159 | martinh | Expert
Over 30 years experience in optical fibre applications with 14 granted patents and licence income from Leica, Zeiss, Nikon and Olympus. The patents on a novel system of laser imaging using a single raster scanned optical fiber tip led to the formation of a company and the manufacture and commercialisation of "The Smallest Microscope in the World" from within Australia. These devices have been marketed through Pentax corporation and widely used for the in vivo detection of early stage colon cancer. The technology has been recognised by an R&D100 and numerous other awards.
