This year MIRTHE for the first time exhibited at Photonics West Conference in San Francisco, CA, on January 26-28, 2010. Photonics West is one of the biggest photonics, laser, and biomedical optics conference events, which brings thousands of exhibitors and visitors every year from all over the world. MIRTHE’s presence at this conference turned out to be a very successful appearance.
