FLEX™ from CRAIC Technologies – a superior solution for analytical challenges

FLEX™, a UV-visible-NIR microspectrophotometer designed to be flexible in configuration, capability and pricing, has been launched by CRAIC Technologies.
Tailored for cost effective multiple spectroscopic analysis of many types of microscopic samples, FLEX™ operates from the deep ultraviolet to the near infrared. Depending upon the configuration, samples can be quickly and accurately analysed by absorbance, reflectance, luminescence and fluorescence.
FLEX™ can also image microscopic samples directly via its DirecVu™ optics and grab high resolution digital colour stills. Additional options include a measurement capability for refractive indices and thin film thickness. FLEX™ is a multi-functional tool for the laboratory or factory, offering superior solutions for analytical challenges.
For further details on this and other CRAIC products, please contact us.

TimePro™ and FilmPro™ introduced by CRAIC

CRAIC Technologies has developed software to measure time-dependent changes of microscopic samples in full UV-VIS-NIR reflectance, absorbance and emission spectra.
The new CRAIC TimePro™ Kinetic Spectroscopy package is designed to be used with Lambdafire™ software equipped CRAIC Technology microspectrophotometers. CRAIC TimePro™ allows the user to monitor changes in the spectra over time, providing a unique and valuable tool for chemists and biological researchers.
CRAIC FilmPro™ is a film thickness measurement software package developed for CRAIC microspectrophotometres equipped with the Lambdafire™ software. It allows the user to rapidly measure the thickness of thin films and analyse many materials on both transparent and opaque substrates. It is ideal for determining the thin film thickness on semiconductors, MEMS devices, disk drives, flat panel displays, and more. This powerful and flexible software can be used in many different fields and in everything from research to industrial settings.

New 508 PV from CRAIC Technologies adds advanced microspectroscopy to legacy microscopes

The new 508 PV™ UV-visible-NIR spectrophotometer, from CRAIC Technologies is designed to be added to an open photoport of a microscope or probe station for non-destructive analysis of the spectra of many types of microscopic samples.
The 508 PV™ features the cutting edge Lightblades™ spectrophotometers from CRAIC Technologies. These can acquire spectra of microscopic sample areas by absorbance, reflectance, polarisation, luminescence and fluorescence, in addition to high-resolution colour images, when attached to properly configured microscopes via the proprietary optical interface.
Applications:
- MEMS devices & Optical Thin Film Thickness
- Material Characterisation & Process Contamination Analysis
- FPD Colour Masks, OLEDs & LEDs
- Mineralogy & Vitrinite Coal Reflectometry
- Photoreceptors, Semiconductors & Surface Plasmon Resonance
Contact us to find out how the 508 PV™ is an effective means to upgrade a microscope to the latest hardware and software microspectrophotometer.

64-bit CRAIC Microspectrophotometer Software supports Windows 8

CRAIC Technologies has developed Lambdafire™, a 64-bit high performance package that improves control over CRAIC microspectrophotometers situated on both the manufacturing floor as well as those in the R&D laboratory.
Written specifically for Windows 8®, the software is designed to collect, analyse, and process both microspectra™ and images from CRAIC microspectrophotometers running the new OS.
Lambdafire™ is used to acquire high quality UV, colour, and NIR spectra and images of microscopic samples by absorbance, reflectance, and different types of luminescence and fluorescence.
The software also incorporates a number of sophisticated tools for analysing the data, touch screen control – a native Windows 8® feature, automation control, and much more. Additional modules may be incorporated to add such capabilities as small spot film thickness measurements and micro-colourimetry.
