J. A. Woollam has collaborated with Linkam Scientific to bring precise temperature control to its custom ellipsometry instruments. Ellipsometry and thermal analysis are fundamental tools in the study of thin-film materials. Temperature-controlled ellipsometry can be used to characterize a range of properties, such as thermal expansion coefficients, which can be determined by monitoring changes in thickness versus temperature. Linkam has modified its HFS600 heating stage with a special optical adapter so it can be used as an ellipsometer. The adapted temperature controller, known as the HFSEL600, allows temperature-dependent ellipsometry measurements with all J. A. Woollam systems over a wide temperature range. Samples can be quickly characterized by heating them—at a rate of up to 150 °C/min—to within a few degrees of the required temperature and then examining the changes when the heating is slowed to a few tenths of a degree per minute.

Innovative Sensor Technology IST AG has unveiled a series of peristaltic micropumps for liquids and gases. The CPP1 pumps provide small flow rates, reliable flow-rate control, and biocompatibility. They enable bidirectional pumping of small amounts of liquids and gases in a controlled stream at flow rates from 150 nl to 800 µl and are therefore suitable for supplying analytes to sensors, among other applications. The CPP1 pumps are designed to be connected to the tubes and pipes of existing fluidic systems, and they can act as valves even when the systems are not rotating. They can withstand a pressure difference of up to 2 bar, which ensures that the media at a pump’s inlet and outlet remain separated. The pumps’ small size of 9.5 × 11.2 × 31.4 mm is optimal for integration into microfluidic analyzer systems and single-pump desktop and handheld devices.

Rohde & Schwarz now offers a 1 GHz analysis bandwidth option for its midrange FSVA3000 signal and spectrum analyzer. According to the company, the FSV3-B1000 hardware option makes the FSVA3000 the first such analyzer to cost-effectively feature an internal analysis bandwidth of 1 GHz (previously available only in high-end instruments). Comparable solutions offer just 160 MHz analysis bandwidth. With the new option, available for all models from 7.5 GHz to 44 GHz, the FSVA3000 is suitable for analyzing wideband signals for 5G NR (new radio) and other future wireless standards. It can support the development and production of 5G NR base stations, mobile phones, and components, especially in the 28 GHz and 39 GHz bands; characterize wideband amplifiers; be used for troubleshooting, capturing even very short events; and address automotive, aerospace, and defense applications.

The Proteox5mK cryogen-free dilution refrigerator from Oxford Instruments Nanoscience is designed to help researchers explore material states at low temperatures and thereby foster the development of next-generation quantum technologies, from early-stage single-qubit research to quantum computer scale-up. The system’s high cooling power of 25 µW at 20 mK and low base temperature also make it suitable for such research areas as spectroscopy and quantum annealing. The Proteox5mK uses Oxford Instruments’ most powerful dilution unit and active gas gap heat switches to achieve base temperatures below 5 mK. According to the company, that is the lowest continuous base temperature available in any dilution refrigerator. Actively cancelled magnets ensure low eddy current heating to maintain the ultralow base temperatures at high fields. Multiple passive vibration reduction features eliminate the need for costly active vibration solutions.

Renishaw has released the latest version of its CARTO software suite for calibration products. Because of CARTO 4.2’s long-range measurement functionality, users of the company’s XM-60 multiaxis calibrator can quickly capture and analyze data from linear axes of any length. The XM-60 allows for direct measurement of all six degrees of freedom—linear, vertical, and horizontal straightness and pitch, yaw, and roll—on any form of linear axis. The CARTO Capture application lets users measure straightness via its dynamic data fit functionality and recalculate the test data to reduce outlying data-points. The improved method offers greater resilience to environmental interference and a better representation of straightness errors for longer axes. Laser users can quickly and easily apply pitch error compensation to Heidenhain machine tool controls.
