Abstract: New identifying code for labeling products to certify sources has Color Holographic Quick Response code by superimposing multiple layers of red, green and blue quick response codes using holographic imaging and creating layers of features that are extremely difficult to replicate. Multidimensional quick response code is provided in a hologram that cannot be copied.

Abstract: A hand-held telescope or binocular built into a bottle or consumable drink container includes a high quality objective lens; an adjustable focus eye lens; and, optionally, a connector ring to form a binocular; a jacket, sleeve or cuzzi containing information regarding, for example, sporting or scientific events; a baffle to minimize extraneous light from disturbing observational clarity; and a holographic bottle label that portrays sporting or scientific figures in three dimensions.

Abstract: The invention encompasses beam expanders and methods of using such beam expanders. A beam expander according to the present invention may advantageously be used with an interferometer. Beam expanders according to the present disclosure contain at least an input and an output lens, with the output lens having a plano-convex arrangement such that the surface of the output lens is optically flat and can be used as the reference surface in a Fizeau interferometer. The beam expander may also encompass a housing, a partially reflective coating and an anti-reflective coating.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a microscope mounted into a computer, such as e.g., a desktop, workstation, or laptop. The microscope mounted into the computer has a light source component, a microscope component, and a light analysis component. The light source component is connected to the microscope component, which in turn is connected to the light analysis component. This device is advantageously compact and can be used for a variety of microscope techniques such as, e.g., epi-illumination, trans-illumination, and fluorescence microscopy.
