Request InfoDiffraction LimitedDiffraction Limited has introduced its MaxPoint software, which improves telescope pointing to 1- to 2-arc-min accuracy by modeling and correcting errors in the mount. The program realigns a telescope after it loses its pointing reference on shutdown and automatically corrects the pointing commands. The company says that MaxPoint, which is set up between a telescope and the control software, can work with virtually any Windows control program.See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaWEBINARSPhotonics.com 4/18/2023Raman Microscopy for Pharmaceutical Research and Development: Technique Variations and Software AdvancesRaman imaging microscopy is a highly versatile and effective tool for the label-free, nondestructive chemical characterization of materials.
