Combination of an Axicon Fiber Tip and a Camera Device into a Sensitive Refractive Index Sensor
An axicon fiber tip combined with a camera device is developed to sensitively detect refractive indexes in solutions. The transparent axicon tips were made by etching optical fibers through a wet end-etching method at room temperature.

Vertical Refractometer for the Monitoring of Main Fermentation
Fermenting beer samples usually have to be filtered and degased prior to refraction measurement with ordinary horizontal digital refractometer. The article deals with the use of vertical refractometer without the need to treat samples prior to the ...

Optimized Multimode Interference Fiber Based Refractometer in A Reflective Interrogation Scheme [PDF]
A fiber based refractometer in a reflective interrogation scheme is investigated and optimized. A thin gold film was deposited on the tip of a coreless fiber section, which is spliced with a single mode fiber. The coreless fiber is a multimode waveguide,

Incidence of Inadequate Transfer of Passive Immunity in Dairy Heifer Calves in South Australia
The objective of this observational study was to estimate the incidence of inadequate transfer of passive immunity (ITPI) on five pasture-based dairy farms in South Australia. Heifer calf uptake of colostrum was evaluated within the first 1–7 days of age
