Direct visualisation for microspectrophotometers
With direct visualisation, a user can directly view the sample in addition to seeing it on a computer screen
Integrating these two components has led to a system unlike any other.
The QDS II features zoomable optics, a broad spectral range, and high resolution digital imaging.
The system is simple to use and can acquire transmission, reflectance, and fluorescence microspectra.
"Craic has developed the technologies used in the QDS II so that samples with variable backgrounds may be analyzed with high fidelity and reproducibility" says Paul Martin, president.
"With such features as zoomable optics, many different scientific fields and samples can now be studied in great detail at the micro level".
While the QDS II was initially designed for microspectral analysis of inks and papers, Craic has discovered many other uses.
These include, but are not limited to, geological and petrographic spectral analysis, semiconductor analysis, LCD quality control, and many more.
