		<description><![CDATA[ Progress in electronics is often measured in fractions of a millimetre. While individual components may be tiny, the consequences of failure rarely are. That&rsquo;s why modern electronics manufacturing relies on automation and repeatability, with densely packed systems leaving assembly lines highly sensitive to dimensional variation. In high-volume production environments, components must also more than meet specification &ldquo;on paper&rdquo;. They need to perform consistently through...]]></description>

This brings the light waves slightly out of sync, so to speak. &ldquo;X-ray light&rdquo; is &ldquo;refracted&rdquo;, too. But the...]]></description>
