Extending the Range of MCT Focal Plane Arrays-Based Imaging Systems to Near IR Imaging Applications

Recent advancements in exoplanet detection, including high-resolution spectroscopy, adaptive optics, and artificial intelligence (AI)-driven data analysis, are significantly improving our ability to identify and study distant planets. These developments mark a turning point in the search for habitable worlds beyond our solar system.

Astronomers have made a significant leap in the study of exoplanet atmospheres with a new ground-based spectroscopic technique that rivals space-based observations in precision. Using the Exoplanet Transmission Spectroscopy Imager (ETSI) at McDonald Observatory in Texas, researchers have analyzed 21 exoplanet atmospheres, demonstrating that ground-based telescopes can now provide cost-effective reconnaissance for future high-precision studies with facilities like the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) (1-3).

ICP-MS is the top choice for trace element analysis in bodily fluids. The NexION® 5000 ensures fast, precise detection in serum with simple sample prep.

USP and ICH Q3D set strict limits for elemental impurities in drugs. The NexION® 1100 ICP-MS ensures accurate, interference-free analysis of pharmaceutical products.
