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 […]
A feature in the August 2017 Electro Optics issue reviews vision correction surgeries and their advancement via laser-based systems. Of significant interest is the role of a Wasatch Photonics spectrometer and its use in finding a previously undiscovered layer inside the cornea. Dr. Nishant Mohan provides details about this “new” […]
David Creasey meets with Electro Optics’ Jessica Rowbury in the June 2017 issue and summarizes the history of Wasatch Photonics, from its beginnings in the gratings market to the company’s eventual growth into spectroscopy, OCT and complete systems. Also discussed is the overall refinement and optimization of product lines. Read […]
