Map spectral responses across microscopic surfaces

CRAIC Technologies says the Spectral Surface Mapping (S2M) capabilities of its UV-visible-NIR microspectrophotometers gives users the ability to map the spectral responses across of surfaces of their samples, point-by-point. With microscopic spatial resolution, surface profiles can be created using UV-visible-NIR…

Microspectrometer is ‘the future’ of Raman spectroscopy

COMBINING high resolution and high sensitivity with short sampling times and a broad spectral range, the new Artemis Raman microspectrometer from Craic can be deployed on many different types of light microscope.   This instrument facilitates the measurement of Raman spectra…

Raman microspectroscope with multiple laser colours

CRAIC Technologies has added further laser wavelengths to its Apollo Raman microspectrometer, with blue, green, red, and infrared now available.  Used in conjunction with a light microscope, the Craic Apollo measures Raman spectra from samples or selected areas of large…

Turn your optical microscope into a Raman spectroscope

MOST major brands of optical microscope can now have Raman spectroscopy capability added to them through the Apollo Raman microspectrometer from Craic Technologies. This additional instrument allows the collection of Raman spectra from microscopic or larger samples, allowing the specimen…

Rapid forensic assessment of glass trace evidence

DETERMINING the refractive index of glass fragments for forensic purposes is about to become faster and easier, says Craic Technologies, with the launch of its rIQ microspectrophotometry system. Glass particles are common at crime scenes, the company notes, and forensic…

Kinetic spectroscopy adds a new dimension

CRAIC Technologies says the addition of ‘kinetic spectroscopy’ capabilities to its 20/20 Perfect Vision microspectrophotometer gives the instrument numerous new applications. Kinetic spectroscopy allows the device to monitor a broad spectral range by absorbance, reflectance, and optical emission, over a…

Photometer measures reflectance, transmittance, or fluorescence

A VERSATILE new microscope photometer from Craic Technologies can tackle sample analysis across scientific disciplines as diverse as geology and biology, thanks to its ability to measure reflectance, transmittance, or fluorescence photometric values from microscopic sample areas. The Craic MP-2…

Quickly determine thermal maturity of coal and coke

VITRINILE reflectance is a useful means of determining the grade of coal and coke, to ensure that blends used for energy generation and steel production are suitable and consistent. Vitrinite is a component of coal known as a maceral, and…
