Craic Technologies has introduced its UVM-2 broadband microscope for UV, visible, and NIR microscopy. This new instrument is able to image from 250 nm to 2000 nm over narrow bands or large spectral regions. It can acquire transmission and reflectance microscopic images with sub-micron resolutions.
The UVM-2 uses range from scientific research to industrial applications. For example, the UVM-2 can be used for inspection the interior structures of bonded silicon devices or for directly imaging protein crystals used in pharmaceutical research. Absorbance, transmission, and reflectance illumination in the UV, visible, and near infrared regions can all be done with the same microscope.
"The UVM-2 was developed in response to customer requests for UV and NIR imaging,” said Dr. Jumi Lee, senior VP. “This system allows for our customers to acquire high resolution micrographs quickly, easily, and nondestructively…With such features as broadband optics, broadband light sources, and digital UV and NIR imaging, this microscope can be used for scientific research and industrial quality control in many different fields."
