If you want to find out what something is made out of, you’ll probably be using a spectrometer. These devices allow scientists to determine what something is made of by shining light through an object ...

Light measurement specialist and proprietor of many of the best light meters for photography, Sekonic, has announced the ...

Optical frequency comb sources provide thousands of precise and accurate optical lines in a single device enabling the broadband and high-speed detection required in many applications. A main ...

The DXR3 SmartRaman+ is designed to detect defects or contaminants while preserving sample integrity.

Spectral (or optical) resolution is one of the most essential characteristics of a spectrometer. A system’s spectral resolution determines the maximum number of spectral peaks that can be resolved by ...

A spectrometer is a pretty common lab instrument, useful for determining the absorbance of a sample across a spectrum of light. The standard design is simple; a prism or diffraction grating to break ...

Spectrometers are widely used tools in chemical and biological sensing, materials analysis and light source characterization. The development of a high-resolution on-chip spectrometer could enable ...

University of Illinois chemistry professor Alexander Scheeline has developed software that turns a camera phone, an LED, and a few other cheap tools into a spectrometer. Armed with these, he thinks we ...

A new mass spectrometry technique captures molecules of lower abundance in a sample, providing a more comprehensive sample ...
