Researchers at Heriot-Watt University have improved a fibre optic endoscope in a demonstrated of laser-enhanced chemical etching, and developed a way to significantly speed up such 3d patterning of silica blocks prior to etching similar structures. The endoscope is a commercial single polymer 1.5mm diameter fibre that, instead of a single core, has 13,000 parallel …
