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 ...

A spectrometer is one of those tools that many of us would love to have, but just can’t justify the price of. Sure there are some DIY options out there, but few of them have the convenience or ...

Light measurement specialist and proprietor of many of the best light meters for photography, Sekonic, has announced the Sekonic Spectrometer C-4000. The device is able to provide single- and ...

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 ...

When you ask the question, how does a spectrometer work? Almost anyone who works in optics will tell you – it divides a beam of light into its elemental colors or wavelengths for quantitative or ...

Any fiber optic assembly that consists of more than one fiber optic in a single cable is defined as a fiber optic bundle. A bifurcated fiber assembly is the most common example of a fiber optic bundle ...

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 ...

The micro fiber spectrometer market represents a stable, high-value segment of analytical instrumentation. While growth is ...

Recognizing fake drugs? Testing water samples ourselves? Checking the quality of air? In the future, it could be possible to do all this using a smartphone in a quick, cost-effective and ...

Compact imaging spectrometer combines a catadioptric lens and a special flat immersion reflection grating. (Courtesy: Ronald B. Lockwood, MIT Lincoln Laboratory) A new, slimline imaging spectrometer ...

Figure 1 illustrates different operating mechanisms that enable spectral analysis. Conventionally, spectral analysis is achieved using dispersive optics such as gratings, which separate different ...
