Welcome to your newly refreshed Machine Vision Insider, redesigned to better reflect the cutting-edge content we bring to machine vision engineers and integrators every week. 

In this edition, dive into how silicon photonics and FMCW are redefining LiDAR performance, and explore the advances that programmable optics offer for next-generation LiDAR systems. Justine Murphy covers some physical AI vision tech in our latest edition of Focus on Vision. And, don't miss the first of three segments in my interview with Bill Rader, CEO, and Alex Drew, COO, of Efferent Labs about their platform for in vivo cellular data acquisition in our Visions podcast. 

If you haven't entered our Vision Systems Design Innovator Awards yet, the extended deadline is tomorrow! Turn Friday the 13th into your lucky day by submitting your entry now.

We hope you find the new format of Machine Vision Insider as engaging as the technical insights inside.

As always, I can be reached at [email protected].
