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…
First Android smart spectrometer now available in UK
ANALYTIK announces the first Android-based mobile smart spectrometer for measurement of colour co-ordinates, correlated colour temperature, colour rendering index, luminous flux, and other lighting parameters. The new GL Spectis 1.0 Touch from GL Optic is the first mobile spectrometer to…
Notes discuss solid atomic absorption analysis of nickel-based alloys
TWO NEW application notes from Analytik Jena highlight the technique of direct solid sampling for the atomic absorption analysis of nickel based alloys. Specific trace element analysis of the alloys used to manufacture aircraft turbines is a critical quality control…
Harvesting light with flash photolysis spectrometer
RESEARCH at the University of Connecticut, USA, into plant light harvesting complexes has made use of a LP920 flash photolysis spectrometer, reports Edinburgh Instruments. A paper in the journal Photosynthesis Research examines the efficiency of variants of the Peridinin-Chlorophyll a-Protein…
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…
Spectrometer ‘will transform’ EMR teaching
THE LAUNCH of the AffirmoEX electron magnetic resonance (EMR) system will regenerate the teaching of EMR in universities and colleges, says Oxford Instruments. The company has developed and customised this compact benchtop spectrometer, and is introducing it along with a…
Raman spectrometers made more affordable
SMALLER than its predecessors, the new Advantage series of Raman spectrometers from DeltaNu, available from Analytik, promise high performance at lower cost for academic and industrial markets. Advantage series instruments are suited to the analysis of solutions, gels, powders and…
Fluorescence spectrometer has double the sensitivity
THE NEW FLS980 fluorescence spectrometer from Edinburgh Photonics is suitable for steady state, lifetime and phosphorescence measurements in photophysics, photochemistry, biophysics, biochemistry and semiconductor physics, says the company. A development of the FLS920, the FLS980 delivers higher performance with double…
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…
