A white paper from Telops
Thermal infrared hyperspectral imaging is well suited for the detection, identification, and quantification of industrial stack gas emissions. This application note describes a measurement campaign performed at the Port of Rotterdam with the Telops Hyper-Cam, a commercial high-performance, FTIR-based hyperspectral imaging instrument. Principles of gas detection, quantification, and identification are discussed and computed mass-flow rate results are presented from data acquired at a commercial alkene production facility.

Photon Lines Ltd are pleased to announce that we have been appointed official distributor in the UK and Ireland for IDEA Bio-medical, a pioneer in high-content imaging technology aiming to deliver automated imaging solutions to the international scientific community.
The IDEA Bio-medical product range expands our capabilities into the high content fluorescence imaging sector, with their HERMES product offering a unique approach to sample scanning that ensures vibration free movement when moving between different sample areas. This makes it ideal for situations where monitoring of loosely tethered samples is required, such as developing organoids or Zebrafish embryos.
The IDEA Bio-medical system can be supplied either as a compact automated benchtop imager or a standalone unit complete with sample incubation and robotic plate loading system. The system is supplied with their Athena acquisition and analysis package which supports a wide range of 3D and 2D fluorescence imaging applications from cells and monolayers to spheroids and Zebrafish. For more information see our high throughput microscopy product pages or the IDEA Bio-Medical website.

Excelitas will use the Vision show in Stuttgart to introduce its new high-performance pco.pixelfly™ 1.3 SWIR Camera this week. It is the newest addition to Excelitas’ family of pco.pixelfly high-performance machine vision cameras. The new machine vision camera features a special InGaAs image sensor that is sensitive in the shortwave infrared, near infrared and visible range of the electromagnetic spectrum. As a result, pco.pixelfly shows high sensitivity across the entire spectral range with more than 90% in shortwave infrared. The camera’s small 5 μm x 5 μm pixels enable the use of small magnification optics in microscopy. It works with long exposure times due to a low dark current, with excellent quantum efficiency of > 90%.
The pco.pixelfly 1.3 SWIR camera is suitable for use in a variety of applications, including waste sorting, smart farming and food processing quality control, pharmaceutical and other product packaging industries, life science research, and medical uses such as in surgical microscopes and in vivo imaging, in vivo microscopy and intravital microscopy.
Excelitas will present a live demonstration of the pco.pixelfly 1.3 SWIR Camera with Excelitas’s Optem® FUSION Micro-Imaging Lens System at its booth during VISION Stuttgart in Stuttgart, Germany, October 4-6, 2022 (Hall 10, E51).
