CRAIC Technologies Introduces the UVM-1™ UV-Visible-NIR Broadband Microscope

CRAIC Technologies introduces the UVM-1™ Broadband UV-visible-NIR range microscope. With unparalleled flexibility and power, this microscope can image beyond the visible and by transmission, reflectance and even emission on the sub-micron scale.

Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) November 27, 2006 -- CRAIC Technologies, the leader in UV-visible-NIR microscopy and microspectroscopy, today released the new UVM-1™ Broadband Microscope. This new system represents a major step forward in the field of microscopy in that it is able to image from 200 to 2500 nm either in large regions or narrow bands depending upon the user's requirements. The UVM-1™ can acquire transmission, reflectance, polarization anisotropy and even fluorescence microscopic images with sub-micron resolutions.

"The UVM-1™ was developed in response to customer needs for cutting edge performance. Many of our customers want to be able to image deeper into the UV or into the NIR regions with higher spectral resolutions and improved sensitivity. The UVM-1™ is designed to meet those requirements with a robust and durable instrument" says Dr. Paul Martin, President. "With such features as broadband optics, TE cooled CCD detectors and UV through NIR digital imaging, this microscope can be used for scientific research and industrial quality control in fields such pharmaceuticals and flat panel displays."

The UVM-1™ uses range from purely scientific research to industrial applications to quality control. For example, the UVM-1™ is equally at home monitoring for defects in flat panel displays as it is researching the properties of protein crystals or quantum dots. Absorbance, transmission, reflectance, polarization and fluorescence illumination in the UV, visible and near infrared regions can all be done with the same microscope.

CRAIC is dedicated to working with its customers to enable them to obtain and maintain the latest microscopy technology. The UVM-1™ is an example of this dedication. For more information on this and other products, please contact CRAIC Technologies.
