CRAIC Technologies Inc of San Dimas, CA, USA has released its Lambdafire microspectroscopy and imaging software package. Written specifically for Window 8, the software is designed to collect, analyze and process both microspectra and images from CRAIC microspectrophotometers running Windows 8. Designed for both industrial processes and scientific research, Lambdafire is simple to use yet contains advanced spectroscopic, imaging and data analysis features, says the firm.
“Customers want to use our Lambdafire software with the latest generation of 64-bit processors and Windows 8 for even greater performance,” says president Dr Paul Martin. “Lambdafire software was developed in response to customer requests for a high-performance package to control CRAIC microspectrophotometers situated on both the manufacturing floor as well as those in the R&D laboratory,” he adds. “Numerous features are provided to address both of these functions while maintaining the powerful analytical capabilities.”
The complete Lambdafire solution combines 64-bit software written specifically for the latest generation of CRAIC microspectrophotometers, such as the new 20/30 PV, and the latest versions of Windows. The new software allows the user to control CRAIC microspectrophotometers and to acquire high-quality ultraviolet, color and near-infrared spectra and images of microscopic samples by absorbance, reflectance, Raman and different types of luminescence and fluorescence.
The software also incorporates data analysis features that can be used to analyze microspectra and images. Designed for the production environment as well as the laboratory, it incorporates tools for analyzing the UV(ultraviolet)-visible-NIR(near-infrared) data.
The new software also features touch-screen control, a native Windows 8 feature, and automation control. Additional modules can be incorporated to add capabilities such as small-spot film thickness measurements and micro-colorimetry.
