Various techniques for use in spectral narrowing and tuning of excimer laser oscillators are described. Intracavity dispersive elements include Littrow grating, grazing-incidence grating, prisms, and Fabry–Perot etalons. Recent developments to improve overall efficiency and reduce broadband noise are outlined.

Polymer optical fibre (POF) temperature sensors are rapidly replacing conventional temperature sensors owing to their unique and attractive features, such as small size, immunity to electromagnetic interference, multiplexing, and remote sensing capabilities. The recent developments in temperature sensing using polymer optical fibres are presented. Polymer optical fibre (POF) temperature sensors of various types: macro-bend fibre sensors, microfibre resonators, fibre Bragg grating, Fabry-Perot interferometers, and POF sensors coated with zinc oxide nanorods are discussed. This study also includes dual-parameter sensors to demonstrate intrinsic sensitivities of polymer fibres to temperature, relative humidity, and strain. The prospects and challenges of POF temperature sensors in the automotive industry, biomedical sector, chemical industry, and electrical power applications are also highlighted. This review aims to help researchers in this field identify areas of further work towards improving the accuracy and operating range of POF temperature sensors.

The physical foundations for the use of electron energy loss spectroscopy towards analytical purposes, seem now rather well established and have been extensively discussed through recent publications. In this brief review we intend only to mention most recent developments in this field, which became available to our knowledge. We derive also some lines of discussion to define more clearly the limits of this analytical technique in materials science problems.The spectral information carried in both low ( 0<ΔE<100eV ) and high ( >100eV ) energy regions of the loss spectrum, is capable to provide quantitative results. Spectrometers have therefore been designed to work with all kinds of electron microscopes and to cover large energy ranges for the detection of inelastically scattered electrons (for instance the L-edge of molybdenum at 2500eV has been measured by van Zuylen with primary electrons of 80 kV). It is rather easy to fix a post-specimen magnetic optics on a STEM, but Crewe has recently underlined that great care should be devoted to optimize the collecting power and the energy resolution of the whole system.

At the light microscope level the recent developments and interest in antibody technology have permitted the localization of certain non-microtubule proteins within the mitotic spindle, e.g., calmodulin, actin, intermediate filaments, protein kinases and various microtubule associated proteins. Also, the use of fluorescent probes like chlorotetracycline suggest the presence of membranes in the spindle. Localization of non-microtubule structures in the spindle at the EM level has been less rewarding. Some mitosis researchers, e.g., Rarer, have maintained that actin is involved in mitosis movements though the bulk of evidence argues against this interpretation. Others suggest that a microtrabecular network such as found in chromatophore granule movement might be a possible force generator but there is little evidence for or against this view. At the level of regulation of spindle function, Harris and more recently Hepler have argued for the importance of studying spindle membranes. Hepler also believes that membranes might play a structural or mechanical role in moving chromosomes.
