Request InfoB&W Tek LLCNEWARK, Del., May 11, 2011 — For fluorescence and Raman spectroscopy applications, B&W Tek Inc. has announced its new Glacier X miniature fiber-coupled spectrometers. The company says that they are the smallest thermoelectrically cooled spectrometers on the market and suitable for low-light-level applications. Proprietary thermoelectric cooling technology allows the signal to be integrated for sufficient time to accumulate measurable signals for detection, without being saturated with dark noise. The result is a good signal-to-noise ratio. Two new preconfigured models of the Glacier X are in stock and...See full productRelated content from Photonics MediaPRODUCTSBioPhotonics.com March 2024 IssueSpectrometer ElectronicsThe Smart Spectrometer Electronics from tec5usa are modular boards that can be customized to fit different spectrometry applications including the real-time processing of UV-VIS, NIR, and Raman...BioPhotonics Jul/Aug 2023 IssueSpectrometersThe Ocean SR series of spectrometers from Ocean Optics offers rapid spectral acquisition speed and high signal-to-noise ratio performance.
