The Best of Both Worlds for Spectroscopy
A hybrid sensor technology combines the best attributes of CCDs and CMOS technology
by Dr. Antoinette O’Grady, Princeton Instruments/Acton
Spectroscopists continue to push the boundaries of technology as they seek to learn more about life’s building blocks. From understanding how the human body works in minute detail to discovering and analyzing new planets, the limits of current instrumentation and scientific detectors are constantly challenged.
One key area of modern-day research is single-molecule detection, which pushes technology to its absolute limit. Recent technical advances in detectors and data manipulation have made single-molecule detection a reality and have resulted in a growing interest in associated spectroscopic and imaging methods...
