A simply cut SMF-28 fiber spreads out from the MFD diameter of the cut surface and has no focal point. On the other hand, SILICAGRIN Condensers have extremely small focal points around 10\u03bcm from the end face. This focus enables selective treatment.<br><strong>In the f ields of diagnosis and observation,<\/strong> this minute focus will also have implications for in vivo microscopy. Use SILICAGRIN to create cutting-edge medical fiber devices that were not possible with conventional single-mode fibers.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"swell-block-columns\" style=\"--clmn-w--mobile:50%\"><div class=\"swell-block-columns__inner\">\n<div class=\"swell-block-column swl-has-mb--s\">\n<div class=\"swell-block-button -size-s is-style-btn_line\" style=\"--the-fz:0.8em;--the-icon-size:1em\" data-align=\"left\"><a href=\"https:\/\/toyo-glass.co.jp\/english\/engineering_r_d\/silicagrin\/\" class=\"swell-block-button__link\" data-has-icon=\"1\"><svg class=\"__icon\" height=\"1em\" width=\"1em\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" aria-hidden=\"true\" viewBox=\"0 0 48 48\"><path d=\"m15 22.9 13.1-13c.8-.8 2-.8 2.8 0 .8.8.8 2 0 2.8L19.6 24l11.3 11.3c.8.8.8 2 0 2.8-.8.8-2 .8-2.8 0L15 25.1c-.6-.6-.6-1.6 0-2.2z\"><\/path><\/svg><span>SILICAGRIN Home<\/span><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"swell-block-column swl-has-mb--s\">\n<div class=\"swell-block-button -size-s is-style-btn_line\" style=\"--the-fz:0.8em;--the-icon-size:1.2em\" data-align=\"right\"><a href=\"https:\/\/toyo-glass.co.jp\/english\/engineering_r_d\/silicagrin\/whats-new-pick-up-contents\/\" class=\"swell-block-button__link\" data-has-icon=\"1\"><span>Back Number<\/span><svg class=\"__icon -right\" height=\"1em\" width=\"1em\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" aria-hidden=\"true\" viewBox=\"0 0 48 48\"><path d=\"m33 25.1-13.1 13c-.8.8-2 .8-2.8 0-.8-.8-.8-2 0-2.8L28.4 24 17.1 12.7c-.8-.8-.8-2 0-2.8.8-.8 2-.8 2.8 0l13.1 13c.6.6.6 1.6 0 2.2z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":8508,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"swell_btn_cv_data":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[68],"class_list":["post-8696","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-technical-note","tag-68"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/toyo-glass.co.jp\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8696","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/toyo-glass.co.jp\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/toyo-glass.co.jp\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/toyo-glass.co.jp\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/toyo-glass.co.jp\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8696"}],"version-history":[{"count":9,"href":"https:\/\/toyo-glass.co.jp\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8696\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8758,"href":"https:\/\/toyo-glass.co.jp\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8696\/revisions\/8758"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/toyo-glass.co.jp\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/8508"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/toyo-glass.co.jp\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8696"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/toyo-glass.co.jp\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8696"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/toyo-glass.co.jp\/english\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8696"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
