Bruker Buys Sigma ElectroOptics

Facebook X LinkedIn Email
ETTLINGEN, Germany, Dec. 22, 2010 — Bruker announced Tuesday it has acquired Hamburg-based Sigma ElectroOptics GmbH to expand its infrared remote detection gas-analysis business. Sigma will be integrated into the Bruker Optics infrared and Raman spectroscopy division in Ettlingen; financial terms of the deal were not disclosed. Sigma ElectroOptics' SIGIS 2 system in use at the Berlin Olympic Stadium. SIGIS 2 secured high-profile events in Europe, such as the FIFA World Cup games in 2006 and political summit meetings.

    hyperspectral imaging
    Hyperspectral imaging is an advanced imaging technique that captures and processes information from across the electromagnetic spectrum. Unlike traditional imaging systems that record only a few spectral bands (such as red, green, and blue in visible light), hyperspectral imaging collects data in numerous contiguous bands, covering a wide range of wavelengths. This extended spectral coverage enables detailed analysis and characterization of materials based on their spectral signatures. Key...
    infrared
    Infrared (IR) refers to the region of the electromagnetic spectrum with wavelengths longer than those of visible light, but shorter than those of microwaves. The infrared spectrum spans wavelengths roughly between 700 nanometers (nm) and 1 millimeter (mm). It is divided into three main subcategories: Near-infrared (NIR): Wavelengths from approximately 700 nm to 1.4 micrometers (µm). Near-infrared light is often used in telecommunications, as well as in various imaging and sensing...
    raman spectroscopy
    Raman spectroscopy is a technique used in analytical chemistry and physics to study vibrational, rotational, and other low-frequency modes in a system. Named after the Indian physicist Sir C.V. Raman who discovered the phenomenon in 1928, Raman spectroscopy provides information about molecular vibrations by measuring the inelastic scattering of monochromatic light. Here is a breakdown of the process: Incident light: A monochromatic (single wavelength) light, usually from a laser, is...
