Craic Technologies MP-2 advanced microscope photometer

Warsash Scientific has announced the release of the MP-2 microscope photometer from Craic Technologies. The product is an all solid-state system designed for photometry of microscopic samples in fields including biology and cytophotometry.

The rugged instrument can measure the reflectance, transmittance or fluorescence photometric values from microscopic sample areas rapidly and accurately. Features include: high dynamic range and sensitivity; high spatial resolution and stray-light resistance; variable measurement areas down to sub-micron.

The microscope photometer includes a sensitive detector for low noise and long-term stability, with an effective operating range from the ultraviolet to the visible and into the near-infrared region. The product also includes a high-resolution digital imaging system (up to 6 megapixels) to simultaneously image the sample and the measurement aperture. It is run by advanced software which controls every aspect of the instrument; from integration times to the bandwidth to be measured.

The system is flexible and offers a number of upgrade paths that include full-range spectroscopy, thermoelectric cooling to increase long-term stability, ultra-high resolution imaging, advanced spectral analysis, NIST traceable standards and even full automation.
