Application Note – Predicting Ripeness of Avocados with a Near-Infrared Spectrometer System
Introduction The ripeness of an avocado affects its flavor, aroma, color and texture. Ripeness, however, is difficult to determine because the fruit ripens without obvious changes in external appearance. Dry matter content has been established as a surrogate for...2018 StellarNet News – Photonics West Conference Updates
Another Successful Photonics West for StellarNet! StellarNet unveiled its latest innovations at the industry’s leading photonics conference earlier this month in San Francisco for the SPIE Photonics West Conference. If you did not attend the conference or request...New Raman Accessory: RPH5 Vertical Raman Probe Holder
The new RPH5 is our new vertical Raman probe holder block that allows for measurement of samples on slides such as liquids, powders, films, and small solids. A set screw allows the user to adjust the height of the block to allow clearance for various samples. The...A toast to spectroscopy: How Compact Spectrometers are used in ethanol product research
Alcoholic beverages seem like a simple concept at first: take something sugary, throw in some yeast, and ta da! The sugars are fermented into ethanol. But the reality is more complex, even for mass produced products like Budweiser and Charles Shaw. For example, wine...Diverse medical technologies: How Compact Spectrometers are being used to develop health-related methods and devices
Earlier, I wrote a piece about how StellarNet customers are using compact spectrometers to tackle the multi-headed beast that is cancer. While cancer is a large problem, it is but one of many in the healthcare industry. Diseases need to be understood, treatments need...Introducing our new Applied Spectroscopy Division
