Craic Technologies, San Dimas, Calif., announces Spectral Surface Mapping (S2M) software for its UV-visible-NIR microspectrophotometers. S2M is a plug-in software module used with Lambdafire microspectrometer. It provides the ability to map the spectral responses across sample surfaces point-by-point, with micron-scale resolution, rapidly and automatically.
With microscopic spatial resolution, surface profiles can be created using UV-visible-NIR transmission, absorbance, emission, fluorescence, and polarization microspectral data. S2M can even create maps from Raman microspectral data from the Craic Apollo Raman microspectrometer. Craic microspectrometers can now create highly detailed spectral maps.
When used with Craic microspectrometers having programmable stages, S2M allows a user to automatically take spectral measurements with user-defined mapping patterns that reach to the movement limits of the stage itself. With the ability to measure up to a million points, high definition maps of the spectral response of the surface of a sample may be generated.
Because of the flexibility and power of the software, the maps may be from transmission, absorbance, reflectance, fluorescence, emission, and even polarization data. Raman spectral responses may even be collected and mapped when used with CRAIC Technologies Apollo Raman microspectrometers. S2M gives even more power to the scientist and engineer to study the entire surface of samples by several different methods and in the highest level of detail.
