Gemma Church talks to Pro-Lite Technology about next-generation, cost-effective hyperspectral imaging technologies
Human neuroblastoma cells: nuclei are stained in red, microfilaments are in green and in blue
Gemma Church explains how Vortran Laser Technology’s laser diodes are advancing flow cytometry and confocal microscopy
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.
Gemma Church finds out more about the Gemini interferometer from Nireos and its new uses

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.
