Upbeat family-friendly banter, conversation and discussion for Linux enthusiasts and casual observers of all ages. A new episode every two weeks covering terminal productivity, desktop apps, self-hosting, Linux hardware and devices, community management, gaming, development and all the Linux Matters that matter.

The show is part of the Late Night Linux group of podcasts, which also includes Late Night Linux, Linux After Dark, and Linux Downtime.

The "one beam going through a doughnut beam" technique is well known through STED microscopy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/STED_microscopy

STED is a superresolution technique for imaging when using fluorophores.

This is a very nice idea using the technique in a different way for a different application.
