Daylight Solutions Receives Grant from National Science Foundation for its Patented Infrared Microscope

Daylight Solutions. offers imaging and molecular detection systems that find their application in medical diagnostics, scientific research, defense, and even in commercial markets. Years of hard research has made the company come out with the development of infrared microscopes that use a special patented technology in the application of quantum cascade lasers (QCLs).

The modified infrared microscope optimizes the high illumination source of QCLs, making imaging results accurate. It has processing speed that is 50-times faster than that of the traditional Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) microscopes. The new microscope is compact and has the capacity of tuning the QCLs to generate full-frame spectroscopy. It features hyperspectral imaging, data visualization and archiving, and spectral database matching for sample identification. Flexible data acquisition can also be done making use of this microscope. This is used not only for viewing molecular samples, but is also used to study each minute pixel of an image.

Mr. Paul Larson, Daylight Solutions’ president and COO anticipates that the QCL-based infrared microscope will open new avenues in chemical imaging. In recognition of its technological advancement, the company has been offered a Phase II small business innovation research (SBIR) grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF). Mr. Paul Larson is much pleased with the SBIR grant and announces that the grant will help them focus on new research and in commercializing imaging and diagnostic systems that will be useful in markets such as food safety, medical, forensics, and other markets.
