Raman and infrared spectroscopy have long been workhorses of the analytical chemistry community for their ability to provide quantitative and qualitative information on molecular species and materials. These spectroscopies are also at the heart of many process analytical technologies (PATs) in several industries, including pharmaceutical and chemical manufacturing.1
Commonly found in manufacturing, machine vision systems create and analyze digital images to guide automated production and quality operations. A new cost-effective 3D machine vision system from Cognex Corporation uses a novel camera device to enable a range of engineering and production functions.
When choosing semiconductor materials for optical applications, there are a few key considerations to be made in terms of their optical properties.
