Applications

Checking the content uniformity of tablets is a crucial step in quality control of these dosage forms—but it is slow and tedious. With IR laser imaging a comprehensive content uniformity is finally possible in less than 10 min.

Hyperspectral imaging (HSI) is gaining wide acceptance as one of the most valuable optical tools for art archiving and restoration. As a non-invasive and non-destructive imaging technique, HSI is safe for even the most fragile samples.

In this application note, pyrite impurities and major elements distribution in a commercial lapis lazuli pendant are studied.

Raman and XRF microscopies are used to study meteorites.

Fluorescence spectroscopy, Raman microscopy and particle size distribution analysis are used to characterise sunscreens.

This application note demonstrates the use of IR laser imaging for tissue analysis and the tremendous speed advantages associated with it.

This application note describes how Raman and photoluminescence microscopy can be used as an analysis tool in any forensic laboratory.

A RISE system incorporates the advantages of both Raman imaging and SEM in the same vacuum chamber to facilitate the most in-depth characterisation of a sample.

Raman microscopy is an ideal technique for the analysis of gemstones and other geological samples thanks to its sensitivity to crystalline structures and the presence of minor components within a sample.

In this application note, an Edinburgh Instruments RM5 Raman Microscope is used to highlight how Raman microscopy an essential tool for any material scientist researching graphene.

This application note describes how Raman microscopy, alone or in combination, can investigate plant cell walls, macrophages and bacteria, and recognise atherosclerosis, differentiate malignant cells and monitor lipid uptake among other capabilities.

Advanced analytical methods, such as FT-IR imaging, are required to accurately analyse the composition of powdered beverages.

A UAV-based multi-camera system to collect NIR/SWIR data, to prove more robust and better-performing estimators of biomass monitoring.

This application note uses Raman spectroscopy to investigate three polymers, polyethylene (PE), polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and nylon-6.

Electron Multiplying CCD (EMCCD) cameras can be used to detect very weak signals, which would otherwise be lost within the noise floor of the camera.
