Is there such a thing as structure insensitive heterogeneous catalysis? Dr. Charlotte Vogt, Principal Investigator at the Technion Institute of Technology in Israel, will address this phenomenon in our upcoming VSPARTICLE user webinar. Please join us if you would like to know more on this topic.Wednesday, 2nd March 2022 - 9amIn this webinar, Dr. Charlotte Vogt will address a fundamental concept in heterogeneous catalysis: structure (in)sensitivity. The VSP-G1 Nanoparticle Generator was...

One of the truly unique features of the PHOTON RT spectrophotometer is the capability to run broadband measurements. The most sophisticated configuration offers an unsurpassed opportunity to qualify optical coatings continuously from 185nm in the UV to 5200 nm in the MWIR.  Throughout EssentOptics business history, they have regularly set new benchmarks for broadband measurement capability. Since their first announcement...

Complex asphere metrology ideally suited for production-level volumes. Advances in diamond turning and small-tool deterministic polishing have dramatically increased optical manufacturing capabilities to produce nearly any surface shape. Designers have leveraged these capabilities by increasingly designing aspheric optics into imaging, sensing and laser systems to improve performance and reduce size and weight of optical systems. However, it isn’t just the polishing equipment...

The synthetic fluoropolymer of tetrafluoroethylene AKA Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) and its analogues are strongly hydrophobic and having low surface energies of less than 18 dyn/cm are perhaps best-known for their non-stick properties. This low surface energy along with PTFE’s high electrical insulating properties can make sputter coating with noble metals prior to SEM a real challenge. Not anymore. Image courtesy of...

This question is of interest to many manufacturers today. Why? Because more of them are making high precision, small-scale components that are critical to the function of a host of end products. A company’s livelihood may mandate that the components they use in their products are uniform, definable, and "high-precision". This is where an understanding of smoothness is helpful. So...

The Resolv4K modular video microscope system has been designed for superior visible wavelength axial color correction; but did you know about our VIS-NIR (Visible through Near Infrared) and SWIR options? The coating choices and design efficiency make this system the ideal SWIR camera complement for use applications such as: SWIR MicroscopySemiconductor AnalysisThrough Silicon ImagingPCB InspectionSolar Cell InspectionSpectrometryForensicsChemical AnalysisResearch SWIR and Vis-NIR options...

The EMScanner provides board-level design teams with world-leading fast magnetic very-near-field data to help diagnose EMC design challenges. The instrument captures and displays visual images of spectral and real-time spatial scan results in seconds. PCB designers can now scan any board to identify both constant and time based emission sources in the range of 150kHz to 8GHz. This report provides...

Cell culturing is a common technique used in biology to carefully grow a specific type of cell. Great care is taken to maintain sterile conditions when preparing cell cultures. They are typically prepared in a sterile, vented hood with materials that have all been disinfected before use. Cell cultures are then carefully placed in an incubator to maintain a sterile...

If you require multiple signals for characterising components such as amplifiers, mixers and ADC’s or want to drive multiple LO’s with excellent phase coherence for multiple antenna systems then the Tabor Lucid multi-channel Series will be the ideal product. The Benchtop version of the Lucid series offers up to 12GHz of frequency range, 4 phase coherent channels, a 5” touch...
