To build an FM receiver, developers can use highly integrated chips, such as the TEA5767 from NXP. Here we describe an FM receiver with a frequency range of 76 to 108 MHz and 2 x 3 W stereo sound ...

We introduce a random-access parallel (RAP) imaging modality that uses a novel design inspired by a Newtonian telescope to image multiple spatially separated samples without moving parts or robotics.
