Ellipsometry is a spectroscopic technique used to measure dielectric properties of thin films. Spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE), which is the largest subset of the technique, is a very useful research tool, and is a popular analytical tool in many fast-growing industries. The market for SE is currently in the midst of a very strong upswing in demand.

Liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS) is a very powerful analytical technique that combines two dimensions of separation techniques. It is finding a rapidly growing demand from water analysis applications due to the increasing need to monitor water for new potential contaminants at very low levels. Despite very strong continued growth in the area, competition is already fairly concentrated among the top several competitors.

One of the most critical components to the performance of any high-field nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) system is the NMR probe. The probe is where all of the action happens within an NMR system, and they are offered in a wide variety of sizes and configurations for different applications. The aftermarket for NMR probes, alone, is quite a sizeable market, and will continue to be a major driver of the market.
