Lasers & Light Sources Motion & Vibration Control Optics & Accessories Nanosurface Characterisation Sales / Service / Support   July 2011 – Welcome to this issue of NewSpec eNews It has been another busy couple of months at NewSpec, with Thomas and Gill attending training with Bruker in Singapore, and Graeme travelling to Laser Munich to attend training & meetings with Newport, as well as some of our other suppliers. Spectra Physics are celebrating their 50th birthday in 2011, so it was quite an honour (and a surprise to many) that NewSpec were able to send Spectra Physics their second largest scientific order in their history in May…..and yes, that is worldwide! See below for the YAG/Dye laser installs coming up. With over 15 major installs pending, things are not slowing down! New from Newport InSight™ DeepSee™ Ultrafast Laser System for Multiphoton Imaging An extraordinary new ultrafast laser system that takes multiphoton imaging to new depths. Based on a novel proprietary technology, the InSight DeepSee delivers nearly double the tuning range (680-1300nm) of existing ultrafast lasers & provides seamless access to long infrared wavelengths for deepest in vivo imaging. Robust & fully automated, providing easy-to-use, hands-off operation, freeing users to focus on their research. About the Product Download Brochure Spectra-Physics Celebrates 50 years of innovation Spectra-Physics are celebrating 50 years of technology and product leadership as the industry's first commercial laser company. With 'Firsts' spanning the first commercial cw, ultrafast Ti:Sapphire and Q-switched Nd:Vanadate DPSS lasers - Spectra-Physics innovations have truly shaped the industry.

Request Copy   Spectra-Physics Spitfire® Ace Amplifier The Spectra-Physics Spitfire® Ace™ amplifier is the most technically-advanced, ultrafast regenerative amplifier commercially available. It sets a new standard for long term performance, low noise, and day-to-day reproducibility, resulting in stable OPA and harmonic outputs for the most demanding applications. Producing an industry leading average power greater than 5 W at 1, 5 and 10 kHz with (M2 <1.3) beam quality. About the Product View Newport Ultrafast Laser Range Wavelength Extension Unit (WEU) for ultrafast oscillators Newport's new wavelength extension unit is a pre-aligned turn key solution for various spectroscopy and microscopy applications. This device can be easily integrated with ultrafast light sources to perform CARS spectroscopy and CARS microscopy. It can also be integrated with two-photon microscopes to add CARS modality to enhance the imaging capabilities of microscopes. About the Product Download Brochure NSTRUCT® Instrument Manager NSTRUCT is Newport's entirely new software platform that introduces innovative features to speed the implementation and to improve the monitoring and control of scientific experiments. With a incredibly user friendly graphical interface that empowers users to easily start-up & run multiple instruments & motion products in parallel. That makes single point communication and data exchange for electronic hardware a reality. Learn More   NewFocus Velocity® Widely Tunable Laser Introducing the world's most advanced tunable diode laser system. The Velocity offers complete mode-hop-free tuning across its entire output spectrum with closed loop wavelength control. The integrated wavelength monitor system allows the user to set the laser with 0.01 nm accuracy and scan across all or part of the tuning range. About the Product Download User Guide New Products from Bruker PeakForce TUNA Tunneling AFM module A Quantitative Nanoscale Electrical Characterization module which enables high-res conductivity mapping on fragile samples, such as organic pv's, lithium ion cathodes, and carbon nanotube assemblies, eliminating sample damage and tip contamination. This exclusive technology utilises a innovative, high-bandwidth, low-noise current amplifier to provide access to the full fA to μA current range without changing the probe holder. About the Product Download PDF Datasheet NEOS SENTERRA Microscope System The NEOS is a combined AFM and Raman Microscope System that provides high resolution topography measurements at the molecular level with the capability to perform Raman spectroscopy chemical analysis. The system allows collocated measurements of the region of interest by AFM and Raman, without the need to reposition the sample between methods. About the Product Download Brochure Acuity XR – Breaks Diffraction Limit The Acuity XR is a novel optical surface profiler mode that combines unique, patent-pending Bruker hardware and software technology to enable select Contour-GT series optical surface profilers to break the optical diffraction limit and deliver lateral resolutions that were previously considered impossible to achieve (< 130nm). Read More Find out more about the Contour GT Range Dektak XT – Stylus Surface Profiler The Dektak-XT is the 10th generation of the legendary Dektak series stylus surface profilers and is the culmination of Dektak's forty-year legacy of innovation and industry leadership. The Dektak-XT features a new "arch" design that delivers an industry leading repeatability of < 5 Angstroms with up to 40% faster scan time. About the Product Download Brochure NPFlex LA – 3D Surface Metrology System The NPFLEX-LA is the first comprehensive, non-contact metrology solution that repeatably quantifies true lead angle and surface texture on dynamic sealing surfaces. Finally, manufacturers of precision turned parts have a 21st century solution to measure Lead Angle instead of relying on the archaic "string method". About the Product Download Brochure New Products from NKT Photonics SuperK VARIA Tunable wavelength & bandwidth filter The SuperK VARIA is a unique filtering solution which allows not only the tuning of wavelength, but also the variation of bandwidth of the filtered channel. In contrast to AOTF technology, the VARIA suffers no polarization loss and thus delivers high power throughput. For example, powers of over 50mW per wavelength across the full visible spectrum are easily achieved with the VARIA and the EXTREME EXW-12 using only a 10 nm bandwidth.
