High-res radiometric thermal imaging camera carries cooled image detector
Just in time for the 25th anniversary of the company, InfraTec is presenting its new ImageIR 10300. This latest model of the high-end ImageIR series features the world’s first radiometric camera with a cooled detector of (1,920 × 1,536) IR pixels for industry and science. Compared to the ImageIR 9300, the sister model with its […]
Basics of telescope optics and mounting
Astronomical telescopes (optical, not radio) are divided broadly into two categories, refractors and reflectors. A refractor consists of a relatively long tube with a lens called the objective lens semi-permanently mounted at the far end and an eyepiece mounted at the end nearest the observer. The telescope will work if the eyepiece, like the objective, […]
New generation of ethernet-controlled BOP bipolar power supplies
Kepco is pleased to introduce our new line of Ethernet-controlled 100W, 200W and 400W BOP linear bipolar power supplies. Kepco’s BOP-E’s can be controlled from anywhere over Ethernet or LAN. Communication is either through a web page or by using SCPI commands via LabView and Telnet. Fast, ultra quiet and clean bipolar power controlled via […]
High-power tunable laser speeds fiber, probe alignment
Keysight Technologies, Inc. has introduced the 81602A, an extra high power tunable laser. The 81602A eases tolerance for power budgets in test setups and speeds fiber or probe alignment by getting first light faster. Keysight also introduced new wavelengths for its recently released 8160xA family of tunable laser modules for the 8164B lightwave measurement system. […]
New functionality has been added to its SENMATION universal sensor interface
Hexagon Manufacturing Intelligence has announced new functionality has been added to its SENMATION universal sensor interface for Leitz PMM-C coordinate measuring machines (CMMs). SENMATION deploys the right sensor at the right time on a single CMM to address complex measurement challenges found in industries such as automotive, oil and gas, and energy. The new sensor […]
Gravitational waves and their measurement
According to Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity, gravity as a phenomenon is strikingly different from electromagnetic radiation. Gravity can be completely described as a distortion of time/space in the region of a body that has mass. The greater the mass, the more distortion. Gravity is a comparatively weak force, far more feeble than magnetic or […]
Yokogawa Corporation of America releases TDLS8000 Tunable Diode Laser Spectrometer
Yokogawa Corporation of America announces the release of the TDLS8000 Tunable Diode Laser Spectrometer. This new product can quickly make in-situ measurements of gas concentrations in various process conditions that are employed in the oil, petrochemical, electric power, iron and steel, and other industries. As the successor to the TDLS200 laser gas analyzer, the TDLS8000 […]
Air Temperature and Velocity Scanner Thermally Characterizes Electronic Enclosures
Advanced Thermal Solutions, Inc. (ATS) now offers the ATVS-2020 scanner which measures airflow temperature and velocity of inside electronic devices. The ATVS-2020 scanner accommodates up to 32 sensors for precise, multi-point field mapping of test domains, including housings and PCB surfaces. The result is a highly accurate thermal characterization. Each dual-purpose sensor simultaneously measures both […]
