Spectroscopy Spotlight
The atomic spectroscopy techniques of laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) and X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy have different strengths. Lydia Breckenridge, a senior research investigator at Bristol-Myers Squibb, uses both techniques in her work in pharmaceutical development. Here, she shares some of the advantages and challenges of using these techniques, and how the greatest benefits are sometimes derived by focusing on their complementarity, and using them in combination. read more

New EasyNav™ package contains 3 applications enabling Raman users to navigate images while remaining in-focus; easily identify a region of interest, and obtain sharp, rapid Raman chemical images.
NavMap™ simultaneously shows a real-time global sample and the zoomed region of interest within the sample;
NavSharp™ technology automatically readjusts surface focus for sharp and real-time navigation on a sample image with any topography.
ViewSharp™ creates a 3D topography image.
