SPECTROSCOPY WHITE PAPERS AND CASE STUDIES
SPECTROSCOPY PRODUCTS
The IR Detectors (B Series) from Opto Diode are high-performance lead selenide (PbSe) single-channel, cooled, and uncooled devices. Applications for these detectors include gas analysis, emissions monitoring, spectroscopy, thermal imaging, defense, security, and process control systems.
SearchLight™ is a free, intuitive, online plotting tool helps you overcome the obstacles many fluorescence instrument designers and users face with spectral management.
Portability is a miniature portable mass spectrometer designed to provide master quality and reliable analysis outside of the lab, stripping out the cost and logistics of lab test outsourcing.
Continuity is the most sensitive portable mass spectrometer designed to provide quality and reliable mass spectrometer analysis outside of the laboratory.
OCI-1000 series VIS-NIR hyperspectral imaging cameras are extremely compact, light, and rugged. They cover visible – near-infrared (VIS - NIR) spectral range from 470 – 1000 nm.
The OPAL-Luxe is a compact, multi-channel spectrometer capable of simultaneous multi-wavelength spectral measurements over a wide wavelength range with extremely high dynamic range, and is particularly effective when strong and weak signals are present simultaneously.
The innovative Optran® UV NSS is a solarization-resistant optical fiber with a hermetic carbon layer ideal for spectroscopy, medical diagnostics, and laser delivery systems.
Raptor offers a full suite of cameras and detectors suitable for Raman and HSI applications, including a choice of CCD and InGaAs sensors in various resolutions and pixel pitches, optimized for specific wavelengths, with cooling options.
