UV-visible-NIR microscope and microspectrometer manufacturer CRAIC Technologies of San Dimas, CA, USA has introduced an automated version of its flagship product, the 20/30 Perfect Vision UV-visible-NIR microspectrophotometer. The new system is designed to be fully programmable to automatically analyze microscopic samples with UV-visible-NIR spectroscopy and microscopy. Imaging and spectroscopic analysis of samples can be done by absorbance, reflectance and fluorescence from the deep UV to far into the near infrared. Applications include contamination analysis of hard disk components, thin film measurement of semiconductors, and microcolorimetry of flat panel displays.
"CRAIC Technologies has been an innovator in the field of UV-visible-NIR microanalysis since its founding. We have helped to advance the field of microscale analysis with innovative instrumentation, software, research and teaching. The automated 20/30 PV microspectrophotometer is the ideal tool for a laboratory or factory due its cost effectiveness for analyzing many samples quickly and accurately," said CRAIC's president, Dr Paul Martin.
The automated 20/30 PV microspectrophotometer integrates CRAIC Technologies' advanced Lightblades spectrophotometer technologies with custom built UV-visible-NIR microscope and powerful, easy-to-use software. Incorporating fully programmable automation features, touchscreen controls and advanced software control, the instrument is designed to acquire data from microscopic samples by absorbance, reflectance or even emission spectroscopy. By including high-resolution digital imaging, the user is also able to use the instrument as an automated UV, color and NIR microscope. Sophisticated software, ranging from image analysis, spectral analysis, film thickness determination and even colorimetry are all available to enhance the capabilities of the automated 20/30 PV microspectrophotometer.
