The UV-visible-NIR microspectrophotometer is an instrument used to measure spectra of microscopic samples or microscopic areas. They are known by many names:
microspectrometer
microscope spectrometer
microscope spectrophotometer
microscope photometer
cytospectrophotometer
microspectrofluorometer or microfluorometer
but all are designed to measure spectra of microscopic areas or samples. The UV-visible-NIR microspectrophotometer can be configured to measure the transmittance, absorbance, reflectance, polarization and fluorescence of sample areas as small as one micron. It is also capable of non-destructive and non-contact colorimetry and thin film thickness measurement. Because UV-visible-NIR microspectrometers are so flexible, they are vital for many applications .
Why Use a Microspectrometer?
Microscope
The microspectrophotometer allows the spectroscopist to acquire spectra of extremely small samples and with little sample preparation. Measurements can be made while light is transmitted through the sample, reflected from it or even when the sample is made to emit light such as via fluorescence. The UV-visible-NIR range is especially important as more substances...even colorless ones...absorb in the UV than in the visible and infrared regions. Therefore, a UV microscope spectrometer is very useful for analysis of compounds in any field.
Microspectrophotometers are widely used in many different fields. They are found in both scientific laboratories and in production facilities. Microscope spectrophotometers are used for quality control of everything from color masks in flat panel displays to the thickness of films on semiconductor integrated circuits. Microspectrometers are also used by analytical laboratories to identify and quantify any number of microscopic substances. This can range from the analysis of components of cells by a biologist, diagnosis of cancer by a doctor, matching fibers or paints by a forensic chemist, the qualification of gems or coal by a geologist, the determination of the color of ink or paint by a process chemist or even the analysis of great works of art by conservators. All these measurements are made with CRAIC microscope spectrophotometers with minimal or no sample preparation.
The QDS III? is the third generation of the worlds only stereomicrospectrophotometer?. It is designed for larger scale microspectral analysis of inks, papers, minerals, circuit boards, semiconductor circuitry, and gemstones.
The QDS III? stereomicrospectrophotometer? is designed to simplify the objective analysis of color and fluorescence of questioned documents, minerals and samples too large for a conventional microspectrometer. This system is rugged and easy to use and includes long-life light sources, an integrated spectrophotometer, secure computers, and easy to use software. The microspectrometer also includes high-resolution, color digital imaging...up to 6 megapixels! All these features, along with technical support, are included with the QDS III? stereomicrospectrophotometer.
The QDI QDS III? StereoMicroSpectrophotometer can be configured to acquire spectra from the near ultraviolet to near infrared. It can be added to a stereomicroscope to acquire spectra and images in absorbance, reflectance, and fluorescence. The lit hexagonal optical head is a trademark of CRAIC Technologies, Inc.
