Previous attempts to describe the life of Peter van Selow, one more important type founders and printers in Sweden during first half seventeenth century, have suffered from serious deficiencies: we knew neither dates his birth death, nor was it clear where he born. Quite consistently characterised as a Dutchman. Thanks newly discovered funeral sermon that has survived Stuttgart, many blank spot...

It is known that dispersive fiber has an LP01 mode cutoff wavelength that acts as a wavelength filter. With a dispersive polysiloxane polymer overlay on a side-polished single-mode fiber, an in-line tunable fiber short-pass filter with a tuning range of approximately 400 nm (1250-1650 nm) and a temperature variation of 15 degrees C was demonstrated. The rejection efficiency was greater than 50 ...

Rene Descartes (1596-1650) stripped the sclera and choroid off the eye of an ox to perform a projection experiment onto a piece of paper. This proved that the retina initially sees an inverted image. Descartes thought of the brain as a machine with fibres running from the eyes like optical cables. These formed a rudimentary visual pathway. The inner soul within the brain then viewed the image t...
