For decades, bulky spectrometers have been the main tools for understanding how things are made of chemicals (a thing called composition). Spectrometers are a type of lab equipment that uses prisms or ...

As much as we know today about the planets of the solar system, it’s almost incomprehensible that a mere 50 years ago we knew almost nothing about them. Observations of even Mars and Venus, Earth’s ...

IR spectroscopy, or infrared spectroscopy, is an analytical technique used to identify and study chemical substances based on their interaction with infrared radiation. It measures the absorption of ...

In order to demonstrate the effectiveness of the FluidScan handheld condition based maintenance system for measuring lubricant physical properties, several initiatives were undertaken to compare ...

In the early 1940s, the first commercial dispersive spectrometers emerged for UV-Vis applications. This technology is based on the dispersion of light in dependence of its wave-lengths. The dispersion ...

Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy is the preferred method of infrared spectroscopy. In this approach, IR radiation passes through a sample, where some of it is absorbed by the sample ...

IRSweep is looking to take advantage of applications including food analysis with mid‐IR sensing being a young and developing field in the laboratory analytical instrumentation market. The company was ...

A spectrometer that directly detects the vibrational “fingerprint” of molecules offers a sensitive new way of deducing a material’s chemical make-up. The device, which was developed by researchers in ...

For decades, the ability to visualize the chemical composition of materials, whether for diagnosing a disease, assessing food ...

The award-winning visible, NIR, and SWIR linescan camera for machine vision and spectroscopy will be showcased at SPIE’s BiOS 2018 in booth # 8728 and Photonics West 2018 in booth #2624. 400 nm to ...
