Software for Digital Cameras: BQScan: PC program makes visible radiation
The program uses an already long-known effect: Meeting radioactive particles on a digital image sensor, they leave behind on the surface of a signal. As a basis for analysis, a photograph is a 30-second exposure of a Canon Spiegelreflexkanmera. This is so little material as possible before the sensor, the recording should be made without a lens.
Only the camera cover must be in place to protect the interior of the device. BQScan The software analyzes this photo and presents the results of the radioactive particles as points on an image dar. The minimum detection limit is a radiation value of two micro Sievert per hour. This corresponds roughly to the natural background radiation, which is exposed to a plane at 10,000 feet altitude.

Third dimension for the living room: LG D2342P: 3D display with polarization technique
The manufacturer promises a flicker-free picture quality in 2D as in 3D mode. Dizziness and nausea (occasionally occur on units with shutter technology) will be spared to the court. In cinema, the polarization technique is common. The principle: A special film on the monitor provides the 3D effect. The lines are adjusted, they are alternately polarized to the right and left eyes.
You do not need a heavy shutter glasses or a special. And polarized glasses do not require batteries. On board the 23-inch monitor (resolution: 1920x1080 pixels) there are various interfaces (HDMI, VGA). The contrast ratio of 5,000,000:1. Thanks to the "3D Light Boost" technology of LG D2342P reached their manufacturers to up to three times brighter than comparable displays with 3D shutter technique.
