Gemma Church talks to Pro-Lite Technology about next-generation, cost-effective hyperspectral imaging technologies
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. Spectral imaging is starting to become a mainstream imaging technology and is playing an increasing role in important topical issues of the day including recycling plastics, precision farming, food analysis and environmental monitoring.
Raman spectroscopy is powerful and versatile analytical tool that is applied in a vast array of applications from materials science to medical diagnostics. In this white paper, Pro-Lite explains how a new class of spectrometers developed by Wasatch Photonics results in compact Raman spectrometers far faster and more sensitive than typical compact spectrometers.
In photonics motion control applications, how do you combine speed with nanometric precision and unlimited travel? These seemingly conflicting requirements are uniquely addressed by ultrasonic, standing-wave, direct-drive piezoelectric motors. This technology provides unlimited linear or rotary motion of a ceramic tip that transfers drive to a target, operating in a manner similar to a DC servo motor but with much higher resolution, an order-of-magnitude higher speed and a wider dynamic range.
