COLUMNS
MOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY WORKBENCH
The Contribution of Raman Microscopy to the Characterization of Nanomaterials
Raman has a unique capability to characterize nanoscale materials that are between crystalline and amorphous.
Fran Adar

Fast, Sensitive Simultaneous ICP
With a large-scale one-inch CCD detector with increased pixel size and an Echelle spectrometer, Shimadzu's ICPE-9000 enables high-speed measurement with the highest resolution of any system on the market. It delivers stable, sensitive performance over extended periods, while an innovative, vertical Mini Torch cuts cost and minimizes contamination and blockages. Multi-functional software ensures easier, more accurate analysis.
