Smarten Up with New Spectrometer

Mini CCD instrument first to include embedded processor

B&W Tek recently released its Exemplar™—the first miniature spectrometer to include an embedded processor, allowing for on-board data processing, including averaging, smoothing, and automatic dark subtraction.

This feature and several others have impressed users so far, says B & W marketing manager Robert Chimenti.

“They [customers] are really excited about the ability to perform onboard data processing in order to provide higher SNR and faster analysis times all at once,” Mr. Chimenti says. “Customers are also telling us that the ability to synchronize multiple spectrometers to within nanoseconds is opening up new applications in biosensing.”

He explains that the system has four first-of-its-kind benefits which the company refers to as the “4 S’s”—smart, speed, synchronization, and small. Along with its processing abilities, the Exemplar features USB 3.0, which allows for up to 900 spectra/second data transfer speeds; and boasts a 14ns trigger delay with +/-1ns gate jitter across up to 16 simultaneous channels. It also provides users with 1μs control over the CCD’s integration time, allowing for great control over the spectrometer’s SNR.

Mr. Chimenti adds customers are already doing some very cool things with the instrument.

“One very exciting application that a customer presented to us was to combine both spatially and time resolved spectroscopy in one setup, for measuring absorption of tissue from a laser source,” he said. “This is accomplished by combining 16 Exemplars, which are placed at varying points along the tissue’s surface and then, utilizing the ultra-low gate jitter of the spectrometers, a spectral timeline is created for each point which is then mapped onto the surface.”

Sample Prep at the Speed of Light

New laser excellent for getting to deeply buried target structures

Carl Zeiss looks to speed up sample prep with the launch of its AURIGA® Laser, a new system combining the specific advantages of the AURIGA® CrossBeam (FIB-SEM) workstation with the capabilities of a pulsed micro-focus laser for fast ablation of material.

“Customer response has been exciting,” says Jerry Lehman, director of technology at Carl Zeiss Microscopy, about the feedback they’ve received on the new instrument so far. “The Auriga Laser overcomes the problem of spending hours of FIB beam time removing material that is in the way of getting a deep cross-sectional image. The graphical-assisted alignment of the laser beam to the feature/regions of interest also adds to the user’s confidence and time savings.”

He adds that the first-of-its-kind laser has been shown to be 500 times faster than a plasma FIB for bulk removal of material.

“Taking some consideration [into] the additional time to remove the heat affected zone (HAZ) using a traditional high current Ga FIB, the pulsed laser is still hundreds of times faster than a plasma FIB,” he says.

Ablation with a pulsed micro-focus laser beam also does not damage the sample and it enables ablation rates comparable to mechanical removal, according to the company. And the system’s scanning laser—a nanosecond pulsed, diode-pumped solid-state laser operating at 355 nm— makes it a good fit for the demands of preparing structures for SEM examination, the company adds.

“The selection of the DPSS 355nm laser for the Auriga Laser was made to address the broadest range of materials,” Mr. Lehman says.
