Reliable analytical instruments like spectrometers are essential for advancing health care research and diagnostics. However, budgetary constraints often require cost-effectiveness without ...

When a spectrometer is being configured for a given experiment, one of the commonly overlooked considerations is in selecting the best fiber optic cable. While there are many different factors to ...

UC Davis electrical engineers have created a chip-sized device to measure the spectrum of visible and infrared light. The spectrometer-on-a-chip could have a wide range of applications in medicine, ...

A portable spectrometer small enough to fit inside a smartphone camera could soon be used to diagnose diseases including skin cancer. As well as diagnosing diseases the portable spectrometer could ...

The AvaSpec range of line of instruments offers several configuration options to improve the spectroscopic and optical performance of the instrument for specific applications. This article provides ...

We know the effect of passing white light through a prism and seeing the color spectrum that comes out of the other side. It will not be noticeable to the naked eye, but that rainbow does not fully ...

Researchers have successfully demonstrated a spectrometer that is orders of magnitude smaller than current technologies and can accurately measure wavelengths of light from ultraviolet to the ...

Researchers at the NC State University have successfully demonstrated a spectrometer that is orders of magnitude smaller than current technologies. Research team develops small spectrometer Credit: ...

The Department of Energy's Thomas Jefferson National Accelerator Facility scientists have brought the Solenoidal Large Intensity Device (SoLID) experiment to life with a detailed 3D-printed model, ...

There is always something interesting to find when browsing the projects on Hackaday.io. I’m always amazed at how much hackers can get done in their basements and home labs. One surprising trend I’ve ...
