What we offer the Conservation Community
The Micro Support Axis Pro micromanipulator allows for sampling of very small fragments (often smaller than can be seen with the naked eye). This is often done for measurement by FT-IR, Raman, or another analytical technique.
An example of how the Axis Pro can be used to isolate small fragments for sampling may be seen here: https://barnett-technical.com/….
The Ostec XROS MF30 X-ray microscope can be used to perform nondestructive elemental analysis using XRF. More information on this system may be found here: https://barnett-technical.com/….
A range of sampling solutions for a wide variety of material and chemical analysis situations may be found on our Steve’s Solutions page.

Failure analysis and particle isolation in a post-COVID-19 world.
The spread of COVID-19 has led to great changes in the lives of people worldwide. This includes the need for increased social distancing and the use of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to minimize the risk of spreading and acquiring disease from others and the surrounding environment. The use of PPE, including gloves, safety goggles, and a mask causes difficulties for failure analysis and particle isolation where precise microscopic sample handling is often required. Precise manipulations using probes and other handheld tools while looking through a microscope, are much more difficult while wearing PPE.
The Micro Support Axis Pro micromanipulator is an excellent solution for performing precise microscopic sampling where PPE is required.
SciX 2020 virtual eXchange
We are excited to be showing an e-poster at the SciX 2020 virtual conference. The poster touches on the work we have been doing with micro plastic research instrumentation and procedure. The poster will be available at the show October 12-15 2020. We will also post it here on the site after the show.
The instruments that we discuss are the Axis Pro micromanipulator for particle isolation and the Ostec e200 Raman microscope for characterization.
Webinar: Exploration of Limits-of-Detection using HTVS Raman Spectroscopy
Date: Wednesday, September 30, 2020 Time: 06:00-07:00 CEST
High Throughput Raman Spectroscopy using Tornado Spectral System’s Hyperflux ProPlus Raman Spectrometer allows for both fast measuring times and low limits of detection due to the proprietary High Throughput Virtual Slit. A variety of samples will be analyzed using this technology including flow chemistry scenarios and analytes of interest in a cell broth background. The dangers of running averages and their use in traditional raman spectroscopy will also be a point of discussion. All multivariate chemometric analysis was performed using SIMCA® 16.
This webinar is presented by Dr. Shamus Driver. He is a Senior Raman Innovation Scientist for Tornado Spectral Systems. Before joining Tornado Spectral Systems, he worked at a pharmaceutical company in Process Analytical Technology development using Raman and Near-IR spectroscopy. He earned a Ph.D. in environmental chemistry from Ball State University in Muncie, IN, as well as Bachelors and Masters degrees in Chemistry from Ball State University.

Strain Measurement in Microlenses Using an Automated Polariscope
Microlenses are polymer or glass lenses used in a wide range of products, including mobile phone cameras, LED systems, and solar cells. These lenses require high image clarity and optical throughput.
Robust microlens quality control includes an assessment of residual stress throughout the lens. Retardation measurements to assess stress in transparent optics is measured as the phase shift between the polarized component of light along the fast axis compared to that along the slow axis. Generally, retardations are larger in areas where there is greater stress on the optic.
The Luceo LSM-9100S automated polariscope, which provides precise retardation measurements, can measure strain and stress in microlenses.
