ActiPix Dissolution Imager
The ActiPix Dissolution Imager is a UV area imaging system based on Paraytec's ActiPix technology. It contains a 9 mm × 7 mm UV imaging sensor with up to 1.3 million 7 µm pixels used to record, interrogate and analyse a variety of complex processes. Applications include imaging the release of an active pharmaceutical ingredient from a tablet surface during dissolution, monitoring the rate of diffusion of species through membranes and providing fundamental information of amorphous to crystalline transformations.
ProEM EMCCD Cameras
Princeton Instruments has introduced the ProEM high-performance EMCCD camera platform. It is designed for low-light applications in single-molecule fluorescence, astronomy and ion imaging. 512 × 512 and 1024 × 1024 back-illuminated EMCCDs are used and it supports both electron multiplication (EM) and traditional readout ports.
Ramanplus
Ramanplus is a new version of Nanophoton's Raman-11 laser Raman microscope. The new PlusNavi function enables measurement of the three-dimensional profile of the sample surface to give the exact location for the Raman measurement. It also enables Raman chemical information to be mapped onto the three-dimensional profile.
HiperScan Hyperspectral Imaging Spectrometer
HiperScan were showing a hyperspectral imaging version of their NIR spectrometer which is based on newmicro scanning mirror with grating technology. The new grating technology makes for a cost-effective system. Hiperscan's products are OEM.
Pika NIR Imaging Spectrometer
The Pika NIR from Resonon is a line-scan imaging spectrometer with a spectral range of 900–1700 nm. The system includes an embedded InGaAs camera, interchangeable c-mount objective lens and SpectrononPro data acquisition software for plug-and-play operation. Rotational or linear desktop scanning stages are offered as options.
