New Environmental Scanner for the Cypher™ AFM— the Highest-Resolution Fast-Scanning AFM

The Cypher Environmental Scanner is a modular and customizable platform with sample temperature control in a wide spectrum of environments. The Environmental Scanner is designed around a sealed cell that can sustain moderate positive pressures and uses chemically inert materials, such as fused silica and FFKM, to provide a controlled environment while maintaining accurate and distortion-free imaging.

New PyLoN-IR, Controllerless, Liquid Nitrogen Cooled Spectroscopy Camera Has Fastest Spectral Rate and Reduced Dark Current

Princeton Instruments introduced the PyLoN®-IR, controllerless, cryogenically cooled CCD camera for spectroscopy. The PyLoN-IR is a linear InGaAs photodiode array camera and is designed for quantitative near-infrared and short-wavelength infrared applications that demand the highest possible sensitivity, including photoluminescence and Raman spectroscopy. PyLoN-IR replaces PI's OMA V InGaAs detector linear photodiode array camera. PyLoN-IR's liquid nitrogen cooling greatly reduces dark current that occurs from thermal energy.
