NIREOS’ core technology is represented by the GEMINI Interferometer: a compact and ultra-stable common-path interferometer, which unlocks all the advantages of the Fourier-Transform approach (such as light throughput and wavelength accuracy) also in the UV-Visible and Near Infrared spectral region. The GEMINI can be used in many experiments in linear and non-linear spectroscopy, such as fluorescence and pump-probe spectroscopy.

White papers
Advances in optical polymers coupled with developments in fabrication methods have led to more optics designers choosing polymer components over glass and metal optical parts – and its no surprise why.
We explain how we create simple solutions for complex problems across the life sciences and other markets.
In this white paper, Pro-Lite’s Dr Nick Barnett provides an update on the current and emerging technologies employed in commercially available multispectral and hyperspectral imagers.
