Research involving two-dimensional semiconductors has led to an ultra-tiny spectrometer that fits on a microchip and is operated using artificial intelligence.

Sample layout, and conventional lidar and chemically sensitive lidar images

Combines photothermal spectroscopy and lidar, resolving chemical information by detecting sub-nm surface deformations due to photothermal absorption of a pump laser.

Processed hyperspectral images

A new Open Access paper in JSI—Journal of Spectral Imaging compares common factor-based methods for hyperspectral image exploration: PCA, MAF, MNF and MDF.

MS image of the ingredients of a kiwi

Mass spectrometry imaging provides highly precise information on the spatial distribution of substances. Researchers at the University of Bayreuth have succeeded in making visible an additive in dairy products and a production-related contamination in baked goods.

Researchers successfully performed prolonged TERS imaging of µm-scale tungsten disulfide samples without signal degradation

Light and mass spectromert imaging of tissue samples

Native ambient mass spectrometry can analyse how drug molecules bind to proteins in tissue samples and could offer an improved route to drug discovery and development.

Headwall Photonics has acquired perClass BV, the developer of the perClass Mira® spectral analysis software package.

And receives a surprise painting very much in the Raman theme.

Graphs showing the forecast for miniature spectrometers

A review of and prediction for the development of chip-based optical spectrometers.

Thermo Fisher Scientific and TransMIT GmbH Center for Mass Spectrometric Developments have announced a co-marketing agreement to promote the use of a mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) platform for spatial multi-omics applications in pharma and clinical labs.

The Gordon F. Kirkbright and Edward Steers awards are seeking nominations.

Drawing of satellite orbiting the Earth

GHGSat has equipped its existing satellite constellation with three more ABB-built optical sensors, increasing the frequency of observations and capacity to precisely pinpoint the source of methane emissions.

NIREOS has been awarded a European Union grant to develop a new imaging camera based on time-domain Fourier transform spectroscopy.

The first local managing director for Shimadzu Denmark, Joachim Holm, has been appointed.

Visible and terahertz images of the cross

Terahertz imaging and signal processing techniques to look beneath the corroded surface of a 16th-century lead funerary cross.

Diagram comparing the OCD spectroscopy and LHSI approaches

Researchers at Samsung developed a novel approach to inspect and measure the critical dimensions of semiconductor devices using hyperspectral imaging, with higher speed and resolution than conventional methods.

A team from the University of Geneva has succeeded in visualising crystal nucleation with Raman microspectroscopy that was invisible until now.

Computational imaging technologies have substantially reduced the costs of imaging systems and at the same time significantly improved their performances. Use of a Lucy-Richardson-Rosen computational reconstruction method with infrared microspectroscopy has produced 3D images.

As an industry partner, HORIBA will co-create, support and mentor a four-year research project to explore how spectroscopy can help drive new methods of cell screening and disease diagnosis based on animal-free research.
