Getting a Taste for Spectroscopy — We were delighted to host our first ever Wasatch Photonics spectroscopy intern over the summer of 2018. Hazel Stewart, a PhD student from the University of Strathclyde, Scotland spent 10 weeks at our Durham, NC site measuring everything she could get her hands on, […]
Morrisville NC – Wasatch Photonics has expanded its flagship Cobra OCT spectrometer product line to include new models for 550 nm vis-OCT and long-range 800 nm OCT imaging, further extending the capabilities and application domains of OCT imaging. These two new variants of SD-OCT imaging access structural and functional information […]
Gas analysis systems used for mud logging in the oil and gas industry provide information that is critical to optimize the drilling process and for ensuring safety on-site. As drilling speeds increase, measurement of hydrocarbons and nonhydrocarbons in real time becomes more challenging for traditional methods like gas chromatography (GC). […]
Compact spectroscopy continues to conquer ever more challenging applications. In the May 2018 issue of The Analytical Scientist, Wasatch Photonics’ Cicely Rathmell and Dr. David Creasey review the history and development of hand-held spectrometers in relation to their larger and more expensive benchtop equivalents. In addition to the cost savings, […]
Our own Michael Matthews spent the day at OSU June 7th showing how the next generation of compact spectrometers are enabling new applications, both in theory and hands-on. Attendees of the lunch & learn included researchers from the Food Safety and Agriculture groups, Chemistry, BioChem, and BioMed groups, who noshed on […]
In the April 2018 issue of BioPhotonics, our own Dr. Nishant Mohan reviews the state of the art in swept source and spectral domain OCT to see how recent developments in each technology are creating interesting tradeoffs for clinicians and researchers. Recent developments in SD-OCT have put it back on […]
Interview by Cicely Rathmell As the University of Strathclyde prepares to host the first-ever Spring SciX in Europe next week, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Duncan Graham and Karen Faulds, leaders of the local organizing committee for this inaugural event. I wanted to find out what inspired […]
Wasatch Photonics is proud to announce the certification of its Durham, NC site to the ISO 9001:2015 quality management system standard for the design and manufacture of spectrometers and optical imaging equipment. This achievement represents the company’s ongoing commitment to quality in all aspects and at all levels of its […]
Optical coherence tomography (OCT) has made its move into the non-destructive testing and inspection arena. Valued for its ability to provide non-contact imaging of surface morphology and subsurface structure with micron-level resolution, the technique can provide quantitative analysis of structures, features and defects for a wide range of materials. Read […]
The September 2017 issue of Photonics Media features an article about how OCT applications are expanding beyond the typical use in ophthalmology. Our own Dr. Nishant Mohan is interviewed for this story. Dermatology and angiography fields are seeing increased usage of OCT for mapping tumor margins to prevent and/or treat skin […]
