Photoluminescence Spectrometer (PRIORITY)

Edinburgh Instruments (Kirkton Campus, UK) introduces the FLS1000 state-of-the-art, modular photoluminescence spectrometer. The instrument excels in both steady state and time-resolved spectroscopy. It can be configured for spectral measurements from the ultraviolet to the mid-infrared spectral range, and for lifetime measurements spanning time resolutions over 12 orders of magnitude from picoseconds to seconds. Its ultimate sensitivity for the standard water Raman measurement is >30,000:1.

It features new proprietary electronics modules and a new all-in-one software suite. Redesigned monochromators provide high stray light rejection, supreme accuracy and resolution, and increased automation.

Processor-Based Ready-to-Go Smart Camera

The new smart camera from ADLINK Technology (New Taipei City, Taiwan) combines an Intel® AtomTM E3845 processor with MERLIC machine vision software from MVTec (Munich, Germany). The camera features multi-ROI image capture, 2MP global shutter image sensors, and PWM lighting control support. Its multi-ROI functionality enables high-speed multi-barcode capture for shortening the image processing cycle time. I/O includes one additional slave GigE Vision camera connection, four each isolated inputs and outputs, and a VGA output. An IP67-rated housing and M12 connectors enable ADLINK’s NEON-1021-M to withstand harsh industrial environments. The MERLIC software is an all-in-one platform for quickly building machine vision applications.

Continuous Wave Diode Pumped Laser

Cobolt AB (Solna, Sweden) announces the release of a higher power model of the Cobolt Twist™ 457 nm on the 05-01 Series platform — up to 200 mW single-frequency CW. This continuous-wave single-frequency Diode Pumped Laser (DPL) operates at 457.0 nm in a perfect quality TEM00 beam (M2< 1.1). The wavelength and optical properties make it a good replacement for bulkier Ar+ lasers. The laser cavity design provides ultra-low noise performance of typically <0.2 % rms (over 20 Hz – 20 MHz and over 10 – 40°C), stable Single Longitudinal Mode (SLM) operation, intrinsically excellent wavelength stability, and immunity to optical feedback.

Its hermetically sealed package provides a high level of immunity to varying environmental conditions and can typically withstand multiple 60G mechanical shocks.

Recirculating Chillers for Laser Systems

Laird (London, England) has designed a benchtop recirculating chiller for laser applications that require precise and continuous temperature control. In applications with a cooling capacity requirement below 400 Watts, the compact MRC series offers a size and weight advantage over conventional compressor-based systems. With a cooling capacity of up to 290 Watts, it can maintain the coolant at well below ambient. It is suited for a wide range of laser systems, including the diode-pumped solid state (DPSS) laser systems used for meticulous cutting in high-tech manufacturing processes and semiconductor wafer cutting. Other applications include medical laser systems for cutting human tissue in cosmetic treatments and for maintaining the temperature of imaging detector heads used in capturing high-resolution images of patients.

EMCCD Camera

The new Falcon III low light camera from Raptor Photonics Ltd. (Larne, Northern Ireland) incorporates GEN III EMCCD sensor technology from e2v. It offers 1MP resolution with 10μm square pixels. A back-illuminated sensor offers a peak Quantum Efficiency (QE) of >95%, high sensitivity, and a total noise floor as low as 0.01 electrons readout noise. It is designed for an optimum combination of speed and sensitivity and is three times faster than previous generation EMCCDs. Up to 5000 × EM gain can be applied to the sensor using lower voltages, resulting in reduced sensor aging effects. The camera can be cooled to -100°C for low background events.

High-Resolution Imaging Spectrograph

Princeton Instruments (Trenton, NJ) is introducing the SpectraPro HRS-300, which is engineered to deliver both the spectral resolution and the astigmatism correction needed for advanced microspectroscopy and multichannel fiber applications. This 300 mm imaging spectrograph’s optical performance is optimized via a new spectral deconvolution, which can improve spectral resolution, peak intensities, and consistency across the 2D focal plane by as much as 60% with the push of a button.

Dual exit ports, each with a full 30 mm focal plane, permit mounting of two array detectors or enable the instrument to operate as both a monochromator and a spectrograph. It can also utilize up to three interchangeable triplegrating turrets and its new grating drive system improves wavelength accuracy and repeatability.

Multi-Wavelength Laser Light Engines

Coherent (Santa Clara, CA) has released a new family of flexible laser light engines, called OBIS CellX, that deliver up to four separate laser wavelengths from a single module, thereby lowering the complexity and overall cost of laser integration in multi-wavelength life sciences instruments such as flow cytometers. In this compact one-box source, the lasers, electronic control, and beam conditioning optics are all integrated in a single package with RS232/USB interfaces and an I/O connector. The TEM00 outputs can be aligned and positioned as needed for each specific instrument. A three-channel version has outputs at 405, 488, and 640 nm, and a four-channel engine also includes 561 nm. Output power per wavelength is 50 or 100 mW.

Handheld Raman Spectrometer

Metrohm (Riverview, FL) is releasing the Mira M-3 handheld Raman spectrometer, which, based on method-driven software, brings the controls of a benchtop instrument to a handheld platform. It allows full adjustment of laser power, integration time, and data processing through customizable operating procedures.

Accessories can match the sampling device to the analysis method. A lockout feature verifies the correct sampling device.

Barely larger than a smartphone, it enables truly one-handed operation. The large touchscreen guides users from data collection to result display in seconds. Compliance with the FDA’s 21 CFR Part 11 regulations is integrated into the software, making the M-3 ideally suited for pharmaceutical applications. Multilevel user access controls, audit trails, and secure electronic records exceed regulatory requirements.

Industrial Camera Housing

EVT Eye Vision Technology GmbH (Karlsruhe, Germany) has introduced the EyeProtect housing to protect industrial cameras against typical environmental hazards. The housing provides IEC IPXX type protection against infiltration of particulate material and liquids, and protection classes I to III to ensure its safety against electrical shock. Since EyeProtect is designed for up to a NEMA IP67 rating, the housing is dust-proof and protects the camera even if it is submerged under water. Available with three inside diameters ranging from 29 to 85 mm, its length can be extended in 25 mm increments from 100 mm. The default interconnection is through a sealed cable gland.

X-Ray C-Arms Camera System

Qioptiq (Feldkirchen, Germany) an Excelitas Technologies (Waltham, MA) Company, is introducing a compact, turnkey camera system for integration with mobile X-ray C-arms. Based on CMOS technology, the SlimLine system offers a high-performance combination of optics (lens elements), mechanics (housing, flange), and electronics (motor control board for Iris communication). The use of CMOS rather than CCD technology makes the system more affordable. The lens assembly can be used with all 9” and 12” image intensifiers from Thales, Toshiba, or Siemens. The motion control board for Iris communication works with interfaces such as SPI and GigE.
