NIR Chemical Imaging Can Help Ensure Safety in Pharma Manufacturing
NIR Chemical Imaging Can Help Ensure Safety in Pharma Manufacturing
Researchers evaluated the ability of NIR chemical imaging (NIR CI) to monitor the concentration of pharmaceutical ingredients in tableting powder over a wide area. Results showed that NIR CI-based predictions of concentration could potentially be more representative than those achieved using NIR spectroscopy (NIRS).

Radiant Vision Systems, Test & Measurement - AR/VR Lens: Measure Displays in Headset AR/VR Lens: Measure Displays in Headset

Radiant Vision Systems, Test & Measurement
Displays viewed near to the eye, such as those in AR/VR devices, create immersive virtual experiences. However, as display images are magnified to fill a user’s field of view, display defects are also magnified. Issues with uniformity of brightness and color, dead pixels, line defects, cloudiness, and image position become more evident to the user whose eyes are only centimeters away from display screens.

MIR Spectroscopy Could Be Used to Detect Airborne Toxicants
MIR Spectroscopy Could Be Used to Detect Airborne Toxicants
Scientists have discovered a way to detect trace amounts of chemicals in the air by using an IR laser to identify the unique frequency of individual molecules. The technique is sensitive enough to detect a molecule present in the air at concentrations as low as one part per billion.
