Micro Support: Micromanipulation in Forensics

Micromanipulators are used in analytics for processing, generating, or extracting tiny samples. This involves working under a microscope with one or two arms on a micrometer scale and with sub-micrometer precision. Reproducible and partially automated operations are performed using software-controlled tools. (more…)

The MFLI lock-in amplifier from Zurich Instruments – precision, flexibility, and web control

A lock-in amplifier is an essential instrument when it comes to measuring very weak signals in noisy environments with high precision. Phase-sensitive detection and digital signal processing allow signal components to be extracted that would otherwise remain invisible. (more…)

Static HERA hyperspectral cameras: new software (integration) options

We previously discussed the possibilities of hyperspectral imaging, allowing to perform spectroscopy across your entire sample area in one shot. We focused particularly on static HERA hyperspectral cameras, but also discussed scanning hyperspectral systems for moving samples. But what if your object is larger than the field of view of your static hyperspectral camera? Or what if you want to control the camera from your own software environment without LabView? (more…)
