Submicron Spectroscopy in 2018

The field of IR microscopy has completely changed thanks to innovations brought to the surface science community by the American manufacturer, Anasys Instruments. This nanoscale spectroscopy company are credited with the invention of the Mirage IR microscope, something which is set to change the way of which submicron spectroscopy is achieved, as well as make it far more accessible to both academia and industry.

What exactly can be achieved with the Mirage IR compared to other forms of infrared spectroscopy, though? The answer is quite a lot. For instance, submicron spectroscopy with the Mirage IR eliminates the need for thin sections and thin samples, by achieving wholly wavelength independent spatial resolution. This has never been achieved by Anasys or indeed, any other manufacturer before, and means that highly sensitive and very precise infrared measurements are obtainable.

This breakthrough courtesy of Anasys is further complimented by the fact that the transmission quality of the absorption spectra is presented in reflection mode – enabling laboratories and industries to get real, viable results, without resorting to arduous means (which can quite often absorb the time saved via the utilisation of thicker samples.)

Any laboratory or industry plant can quite easily see the benefits that the Mirage IR brings to the table, by the virtue of dramatically less time is spent on samples. The Mirage IR, and its ability to dramatically simplify sample preparation means that measurement of thicker samples is very possible, as well as rapid improvements to measurement turnaround times.

Essentially, implementation of the Mirage IR will enable professionals of all degrees to better utilise their time, and get better, far more viable results in their testing. Supply of the Anasys Instruments Mirage IR to the UK is through the well-respected vacuum, surface science and nanoscience specialist, Scanwel, a recognised distributor of Anasys instruments as well as a notable manufacturer of custom fabrications.

Oil And Gas Prices Review: Bloated Supply Finally Clearing

In 2015, Oil and Gas Prices were at a historic 10 year low, through Saudi Arabia and Russia – both very oil rich countries – refusing to comply with OPEC instructions on maximum oil production. Crude oil, like all resources throughout the world – is subject to supply and demand – and both countries have pushed down global oil and gas pricing through overproduction throughout 2015. This has been catastrophic for the industry, as hedges of crude oil have become more of a burden to banks and governments due to lack of demand, low pricing due to competition of cheap Russian and Saudi oil, and has also meant that the hedges themselves are costing money, due to the costs of keeping them. The slump in prices has also meant that countries and banks have been unable to sell these hedges, as they are in negative equity – worth far less than already paid. As 2016 passed, the oil and gas industry buckled down and prepared for rough times, with oil and gas exploration and production at an ...

How to Choose the Right Refrigerated Courier Service

Have you ever tried shipping fresh seafood or a life-saving vaccine across the country? Ensuring temperature-sensitive products remain in optimal condition during transit is crucial. The right refrigerated transport service can make all the difference, preventing spoilage and maintaining product integrity from pickup to delivery. The Risks of Choosing the Wrong Service Selecting the wrong courier can lead to serious issues: Spoilage and Waste – If goods aren’t kept at the right temperature, entire shipments can be lost, resulting in financial and operational setbacks. Safety Concerns – Food and pharmaceuticals that fall outside safe temperature ranges can pose serious health risks. Reputation Damage – Customers expect reliability. Poor delivery service can harm long-term trust and business relationships. What to Look for in a Refrigerated Courier Service 1. Temperature Control Capabilities Accurate Temperature Ranges – Whether transporting frozen food, chilled pharmaceu...

Industrial Hose Reels & Their Conveniences

Wear and tear can occur if your hose is simply left out for extended periods of time in a hectic, possibly dangerous, working environment. Industrial hoses on a reel keep everything within the application in top condition, removing the chances of unnecessary damage that will require a replacement and subsequently a large cost. The organisation of several industrial hoses in one business can be an absolute nightmare. The space that is required when storing a regular hose can become quite detrimental, so utilising the space saving benefits of a hose reel can save on space and provide a storage area for so much more. Retractable hose reels are designed with features that allow them to be easily mounted on to walls and ceilings, leaving you to utilise the maximum amount of storage and work space as possible. Other reels are designed to be mounted on trucks and heavy duty vans, so if you happen to have a fleet of vehicles that are capable of having reels fixed to them, you can com...
