A spectrometer is a pretty common lab instrument, useful for determining the absorbance of a sample across a spectrum of light. The standard design is simple; a prism or diffraction grating to break ...

A new chip-scale spectrometer challenges the long-standing reliance on bulky optical systems by replacing physical light ...

Researchers have successfully demonstrated a spectrometer that is orders of magnitude smaller than current technologies and can accurately measure wavelengths of light from ultraviolet to the ...

A good portable Raman spectrometer bridges the gap in capability, performance, and size between benchtop and handheld Raman spectroscopy. It allows new point-of-use applications in industry and ...

Researchers 3D printed a miniature ionizer, a key component of a mass spectrometer. Their device could someday enable an affordable, in-home mass spectrometer for health monitoring. Mass spectrometry, ...

Red laser light is coupled into a spectrometer chip with an optical fiber from the left. The light travels along the chip until it is scattered out the the top in a waveguide section on the right.

[Project 326] wanted to know exactly what gas was in some glass tubes. The answer, of course, is to use a spectrometer, but that’s an expensive piece of gear, right? Not really. Sure, these cheap ...

UC Davis electrical engineers have created a chip-sized device to measure the spectrum of visible and infrared light. The spectrometer-on-a-chip could have a wide range of applications in medicine, ...

This Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine review examines a central challenge in precision medicine: whether medical ...

A spectrometer is an instrument that is often employed to examine, identify, and precisely gauge electromagnetic radiation emanating from a substance. This aids in identifying the elemental ...
