Three-Year warranty on Ocean Optics spectrometers
Spectrometers purchased from Ocean Optics and its authorised distributors are now covered for a full three years against manufacturing defects - regardless of application
The company says the Libs system is capable of analysing practically every known element in gas, liquid or solid samples in real-time and has a wide variety of industrial and scientific applications.
The Libs-IM and Libs-IM-C imaging modules allow a user to see a magnified image of a sample via a CCD camera and Pixelink, an included Windows-based software application.
The CCD cameras used in the modules offer pixel resolution of 1280x1024, with each pixel six micrometres square.
Pixelink enables image capture and archiving on a PC with detailed annotations, for comparison analysis and application record keeping.
The Libs-IM module produces black and white images with image resolution to 40 micrometres.
The Libs-IM-C provides colour images at resolution to 60 micrometres.
The modules connect to a PC via an IEEE 1394 (FireWire) cable and FireWire PCI or PCMCIA card.
When attached to a PC the modules require no external power.
An external power cable is supplied for use with a notebook computer.
Applications for the Libs2000+ system include environmental sampling, forensics, semiconductor analysis, paper production, blast-furnace monitoring, botany, biomedical analysis, gemology and metallurgy.
A complete Libs scan can be executed in less than a second, making it possible to analyse transient samples, and only trace amounts of a sample are required for analysis.
Libs systems can be used in the laboratory, in the field, or remotely, and on any sample geometry.
