The Amadeus Spectrometer
In this video, our friends at Pasco Scientific show us how the Amadeus Spectrometer from Ocean Optics can be used with SPARKscience in the chemistry classroom. This demonstration explores the emission spectra of LED lights and a helium discharge tube plus the transmission and absorbance of various colored solutions.
The SpecEl Ellipsometer System from Ocean Optics
In this video we show you the basic steps for setting up the SpecEl Ellipsometer System from Ocean Optics. Using a step wafer, learn how to perform a basic measurement using the SpecEl and Scout Software. For more information, visit http://www.oceanoptics.com/products/specel.asp
Fourier Transfer Spectroscopy Tutorial
Our partners at ARCoptix present this tutorial on using the ANIR FTS Spectrometer system. Fourier Transfer Spectroscopy is a measurement technique the collects spectra based on the response from a pulse of electromagnetic radiation. It is more sensitive and has shorter sampling times that more traditional methods.
PlasCalc Plasma Monitoring System
Meet the PlasCalc Plasma Monitoring System from Ocean Optics. Plasma monitoring is a valuable tool for a diverse range of applications, such as measuring film deposition, monitoring plasma etching, examining surface cleaning, analyzing plasma chamber health control and monitoring abnormal pollution or discharge phenomena. The PlasCalc Plasma Monitoring System measures plasma emission from 200-1100 nm in only 3 milliseconds.
The Jaz PX Pulsed Xenon Light Source
In this video, we Introduce you to the Jaz PX pulsed xenon light source for the Jaz modular sensing system. The Jaz-PX has a specified pulse frequency of 200 Hz (maximum 500 Hz), spectral response from 190-1100 nm, and is ideal for UV-VIS applications such as absorbance, bioreflectance, fluorescence and phosphorescence. We will walk you through the basics of running the PX in various modes, and will perform a basic reflection measurement using SpectraSuite Software.
