  • Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy for Geological Characterization of Extraterrestrial Minerals

    Prof. Darby Dyar’s research group, at Mt. Holyoke College, is studying the geology of extraterrestrial bodies in the solar system including the Moon, Mars, and Venus. The lab mainly uses different forms of analytic spectroscopy, such as Mossbauer, reflectance, Raman, and x-ray. Her group is also utilizing laser induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) to quantitatively characterize different minerals.

  • Low-Frequency Raman Spectra of Amino Acids Discovery of a Second Fingerprint Region

    A novel astigmatism-free spectrograph design, the Princeton Instruments SCT 320 IsoPlane Schmidt-Czerny-Turner (SCT) spectrograph, is shown to give Raman spectra with better resolution and signal-to-noise ratios than traditional Czerny-Turner (CT) spectrographs.

  • Instrument Automation via National Instruments LabVIEW®

    While many labs use LabVIEW for instrument automation, quite often researchers find it daunting to create their own vi's if a sub-vi for a desired function is not provided by the instrument manufacturer. Teledyne Princeton Instruments provides robust documentation and building blocks to help most users perform their desired automation without any extra effort needed.

  • Using Raman Spectroscopy to Detect Malignant Changes in Tissues

    Accurate, rapid and non-invasive detection and diagnosis of malignant disease in tissues is an important goal of biomedical research. Optical methods, such as diffuse reflectance, fluorescence spectroscopy, and Raman spectroscopy, have all been investigated as ways to attain this goal.

  • Teledyne DALSA’s 16k multifield TDI camera captures multiple images in a single scan

    Teledyne DALSA is pleased to announce that its Linea™ HS 16k Multifield TDI camera is in volume production. The Linea HS 16k Multifield can capture up to three images simultaneously in a single scan using light sources at different wavelengths. Its charge-domain CMOS TDI sensor with 16k x (64+128+64) TDI arrays and a 5x5 μm pixel size, uses advanced wafer-level coated dichroic filters with minimal spectral crosstalk to spectrally isolate the three images. The camera also comes with high-speed CLHS interface, delivering up to 8.4 Gigapixels per second over a single and long length fiber optic cable.
