Bruker ALPHA FT-IR Spectrometer
Compact & affordable, plug & play set-up, easy-to-use software, wide variety of QuickSnapTM sampling modules assure powerful and reliable FT-IR analysis you expect from Bruker. http://www.brukeroptics.com/alpha.html
GlacierTM X Miniature Fiber Coupled Spectrometer
The GlacierTM X is the smallest TE cooled spectrometer on the market, making it the perfect solution for applications that require high performance and portability. Compared to non-cooled CCD spectrometers, it offers higher dynamic range, significantly reduced dark counts, and superior baseline stability, making it ideal for low light level detection. http://www.bwtek.com/product/spectrometer/glacierx.html
Pike Technologies
New PIKE Technologies catalog with accessories for FT-IR, NIR and UV-Vis spectrometers will be released in March. The catalog will include reflectance (ATR, specular/diffuse), and transmission products compatible with all spectrometers. www.piketech.com
TECHSPEC® High Transmission OD6 Bandpass Filters
Edmund Optics High Transmission OD6 Bandpass Filters are perfectly matched to common fluorophores used in fluorescence imaging applications and feature >93% transmission and >OD6 blocking outside of the passband. They are ideal components in spectroscopy, clinical chemistry applications and biotech instrumentation. www.edmundoptics.com/onlinecatalog/
